is the tube diameter larger than the stock hose?

It's an 05-06 item that's been out awhile, apparently it wasn't deemed viable for the rest of the tC market, hmmm.

IMHO Specifications look like it's a 2 3/4" intake tube. According to Doc Isotope, it's the material of the OEM intake tube that causes heatsoak, so anything is prob'ly better than stock for adding a few hp. It could be argued that removing the resonator upsets airflow, which is why most intakes do nothing but make more noise.






It must add performance, dynos never lie.
