Re: 2.0 cold air.. (vdubmk3)
I ran a hose from where the stock airbox goes into the fender down through that hole and looped it around to the little grille in the bumper. It worked the first couple times I drove it but after that It wistled kinda like a turbo. this was kinda cool exept I had a big loss in power at low rpms. I checked it out and my hose got pinched and there was about a 1/2" hole for air to travel that is were I got the wistle. I already had the K&N pannel so I was like what the heck. I jerked my air box and took the drill to it. IT SOUNDS AWESOME!!! and it seemed to add power over stock.
P.s. When the hose did work well I accellerated right through 100mph in 3rd!

It was sweet. I cannot do that with the swiss cheese.

Re: 2.0 cold air.. (vdubmk3)
I say you should jsut make your own homemade cai...cost me about $15. I've done the swiss cheese dealio and a couple other homemade setups but this one seems to be the best, I definitely get some pickup from 4000rpm and beyond. Pretty much what I did was go to Home Depot, buy about a foot of 3" cpvc piping, it was black in color. Then I got a 3" rubber hose connector, and also a 3" rubber 90 degree bend elbow that is made to accept the 3" cpvc piping. Connect the hose connector to the MAF and to the 3" pipe, run it to the 90 degree elbow which leads down the crevice where the charcoal canister used to be. Then connect about 5" of the 3" cpvc piping to the end of the elbow. The other end of the cvpc piping would connect to my 3" K&N filter which sounds badass...You gotta make sure you get the right size filter though, as the size in the space is not too big for a filter. I've got my KN part number here somewhere...I'll see if I can post pics of my setup later. Have fun and just be creative. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

after the 90 degree bend, there's pretty much 3" of piping and a KN filter on the end, so use your imagination
