I plan to upgrade to one of those, and have heard also that you will gain 2 to 3 hp.

Does your year C4 still have 3 catilytic converters? I would think that you would try a free flow exhaust and a set of headers.

I think his concern is $$$. Headers and exhaust might not be in the game plan right now but in the future.

But what about cutting the lid and putting a different fliter? K&N maybe. Alot of people like that set up. Or maybe splurge for the vortex air rammer. Vetteboy, don't you have that set up? Or is it your brother? or both of you?
I know I have it and like it alot.

Hi Will,

This is what I have on my car. http://www.slponline.com/view_product.asp?P=21028&BIG=21028-1

Very well made (comes w/ 3 K&N's), looks cool (definite improvement over the stock box) and you can definitely hear (air sucking) and, as far as I'm concerned, feel the difference from stock. Keep in mind, I did the exhaust at the same time. The two work in conjunction w/ each other. I paid $218...give 'em a call.

I really don't follow my MPG to closely but I'm sure it didn't hurt it any.

All things considered, these cars really get pretty good gas mileage. I'm guessin' that you're doing mostly city driving- stop n' go stuff - so don't expect miracles when it comes to MPG. In the scheme of things, you're doin' much better than all those SUVs you see but at the same time it's no Toyota.

What are you averaging right now?

btw...A K&N w/ a cut lid will probably net you the same gains and if you cut your own lid it's a relatively cheap mod. If money's a factor, that's what I'd do. Get a K&N off ebay or something.

The best way to improve your mileage is to keep your foot out of it....which is easier said than done.

I got the metal one with the filter as a kit and I'm very satisfied with the quality. Did not really notice any performance difference, but in combination with my other mods (exhaust and PCMforless chip) there was a definite improvement.

Anyway, I have seen one or two negative comments about the polymer frame so I'd get the metal one. I think when purchased with the K&N as a package it's $40 additional and for me that was worth it to save the original and avoiding the hassle of cutting it myself.
