Worth while option? [cold air intake]
Im getting my black cherry xb in about a week, and was thinking about getting a cold air intake. Do they really do that much in this car? The only reason i ask is because i put one in my camaro and i really couldnt tell that much difference. Also if i do get one should i get a k&n or an injen?

http://www.adventon.com had them for a good price if you wanna go with the K&N. i don't have any experience with the Injen.. sorry.

I too can tell you that with the intake installed, i noticed a difference during my break in period. Now that i have almost 2K miles, it seems to be running better every day. Better in response from the throttle, and better sounding to boot! I bought my Injen from Nopi for $165, they were the cheapest around for the Black Powder Coated intake about 2 months ago.

Id say the difference with the CAI is subtle. If possible try to upgrade to a CAI and a better muffler. You'll definitely notive a difference in "zippiness" when you do that. Adding new headers will also make a huge difference. As far as mufflers go, I'd sya the TRD muffler, The DC Sports Muffler and the MAGNAFLOW offer the best combination of hp increase and sound without being noisy and attracting the fuzz.

I beg to differ on the header suggestion. What did DC get a whopping 2 whp.
Sorry ROI on that is ____e!
CAI def, header not so sure yet.
Muffler minimal..maybe 2 -3 whp.....get a muffler for looks and sound, not power.

The Injen seems to be the way to go. There is a comparison of the available cold air intakes somewhere in this forum. Injen came out on top..and I think it was also the cheapest. Can't beat more power for less money.

I put an Injen intake on my XB last weekend and I definitely noticed a significant difference not only with better pickup, but it also sounds cool too! It also doesn't seem to drag up hills and is better on the highway. I would recommend purchasing the Injen to anyone who is looking for that extra pick up. -Ashietovah
