What do you think of this? What size piping fits on the inside?

I'm assuming its for intake and not brakes since its only on one side. Looks kinda cool, but I'm sure its totally unnecessary. Looks like 2.5" or 3" dryer ducting on the inside. You could have the exact same effect by cutting out the little grille and sticking your $6 dryer ducting in the hole. How much does that cost, anyway?

I agree. It probably fits better than something you could make from scratch, but still not worth the gain you'd get for the price imho.

That's the J's intake, it's for about $ 199.99. I would fabricate one myself from parts at Home Depot. But also, if the hose is too big and does not have enought turns, water will reach the intake.

I just wonder how hard it is install and take off? I think the gains would be good on my coupe if I run straight from the turbo. Yes, I could make one but I hate gay ass home made shit. I'm no fabricator so I leave that to professionals. What else am I going to spend $180.00 on for my coupe. I'm running out of shit to do. Now, I just want to make the car look original. I was at the track last wednesday and do you know how many cars out there had the exact same mods done.
