Are you sure you want to stand by that statement 'factory header works pretty good', do you mean for emissions? Then I agree. From a performance standpoint....absolutely not. Dynos of a bone stock car adding just a CAI show minimal gains, bone stock and then adding a header shows a great increase in power and torque. Reaper and others; may want to take a look here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31555 Pretty good compilation of dynos with various setups, focused around headers. |

Thanks for all the input
I am looking to grow the car into a solid daily driver that can keep up with anything on the road. I am not looking for 500hp or anything, but I want a solid powerband.
I appreciate all the help. |

Just buy a K&N drop in. Worth every penny.

Butt dyno told me I gained 15whp, but it's probably more like 20. ![]()

You've heard it over and over now, in terms of actual performance gains vs. cost a drop-in filter is your best bet. Put the money you'd spend on an intake system towards something more worthwhile.

I really liked the K&N - I only replaced it with the Injen short ram because I found it used for a decent price ("moar loud mean moar faster") - and it did feel a bit peppier.
IIRC, the dyno compilations here show it had a marginally better power gain than the others across the power band (if not necessarily at the very peak). Plus it made the car sound much better (I hated the stock sound track - tractors are not sexy) Also, the K&N is pretty cheap too - even for Canucks (who usually get ripped hard for parts). Touge tuning sells it for a very fair price IIRC (under $50CAD if I'm not mistaken). |

Paying $500 for an induction hose and intake were worth it to me, just to clean up the god awful mess that the stock airbox and induction hose with sound generator were.
Still haven't had a chance to dyno it to see if Mishimoto's claims of +16HP over stock are accurate. But I can feel a difference, that's for certain. |

I was about to look up which intake to get... just to get the most out of the engine for autocross. Seems like everyone suggests the drop-in... which I already have.
