My motto is, "If you're going to do something wrong, do it right"

Oh and I bought my Rexspeed replacement mirrors. They come in Friday the 6th. I will post before and after view pics.

I am very close to purchasing the Eibach pro kit. Can't decide what springs I want, but Eibach is one of the sets I have in mind. Are you doing epoxy on calipers?

Are you sure about this? I don't know who's right. One of the magazines dyno'd about 10 intakes and the good ones were producing around a 7 hp increase on the dyno. Were they mistaken?

To put on my cynic hat for a moment... The job of many car magazines is to sell aftermarket parts, it would be hard for them to come out and say "sorry guys, intake is fine stock".

I don't think that's actually the whole of what happened, but there may have been a bias in the testing. Considering the apparent strength of the OEM intake design for NA cars, the majority of the power increase seems to be coming from a change in filter material. Like @evo4g63 said before, for pure performance, a drop in filter is the best value.
