    they are the cheapest, easiest form of filtration for itb's. i believe a plenum with trumpets inside for the itbs and a cai would work better (if made properly) but most people don't bother due the price.

    o ok. well i have a what looks to be factory plenum for it and was thinking of putting that on - however theres no room for the airbox i got with the car so a pod filter would be the only option and i though i might run some piping down into the front bar off the plenumwith the pod on the end.

    did the 20valve engines come with factory quad throttle boddies ?

    o and wtf r trumpets?

    noob much...

    socks are almost always very restrictive, 10hp at the wheels on my friends blacktop

    sam, only GTIR pulsars had itbs, the run of the mill SSS was pretty standard in that aspect.
