Hey all,

All of you have posted some very interesting points in regards to low budget add ons. I just finished putting in a fenderwell CAI. I originally had the stock Air Intake with a K&N filter(first mod) as well as removed the fenderwell inlet tube.
As soon as I did this, I felt a tiny increase in high end torque. I soon followed with underdrive pulleys and a 70mm throttle body. I felt a noticeable increase in power with these three mods alone. Not to mention that it growled very nicely. A few hours ago I put in a fenderwell CAI I purchased on ebay, I figured the $40 wouldn't break the bank and it would let the car breathe easier and a little cooler air. I have to admit, I felt another bit of power from the CAI.

I understand that every engine is different and they all respond better to different mods but I feel the$400 or so I have spent has given the car a lot more pep.

My question is directed at those of you who have a fenderwall CAI. I noticed a loud whine coming from the CAI now. I checked all the connections, tightened all bolts and made sure all hoses were secured so there doesn't seem to be a leak. I am usually overly paranoid anyway but it would definitely make me feel better if anyone is experiencing the same thing.

It was a beatch to put in but I'd rather go ahead and swap it out instead of damanging the engine.

Thanks fellas,
Narsh
