What's a good intake system? I've been looking at the March Ram Air System. Is that any good at all? It looks like it would work.

ive heard people say that they suck up a lot of leaves and water with it...so i wouldn go that route. best intake system would be a ram air like the cervinis ram air hood has...but thats expensive because you have to buy a new hood. but on a stock car simply removing the air silencer from the stock air box is a good enough upgrade

I have heard of people having problems with the march kit. In dry weather I think it would be ok if there isn't a lot of dust and leaves but in the wet don't bother. My brother worked on a car with one of these that went through a puddle and it really damaged the engine. Your best bet is to get a K&N air filter and take all the stock stuff out.

Its does not actually work as a "ram air" system anyway, the cervini's either. Just get a CAI that goes into the fenderwell

well, it is all gonna be downhill after that.

do be careful if the inlet mounts real low - watch puddles and flooding - dont want to hydrolock the motor.....good luck.

i used bbk looks great, however i would be skeptical to say you would notice a difference anyway you went. if you want looks and whatever little performance it may add, get bbk. they are reasonable priced. otherwise just remove the silencer. i liked the CAI simply because of all the room it cleared under the hood, plus the looks. IMO
