Thread: Starting to Mod

Make a fwi. I don't trust eBay intakes. You can make one for around 50

just make one go to advanced auto parts buy a $50 k&n filter and mount it on its easy

........ok......

1. dont buy an intake from ebay...period.

2. if your up to it make one out of PVC piping...its real easy and prettyu cheap for what ya get.

3. for further mod advice please see the "safely modding your 3800" section in the "General Topics" section

So telling me to buy an intake and mounting it on is like... telling me to part the red sea...

And I dont really want a fwi (Call me crazy, but I want to be able to open the hood and see it/show people) So I'd love a short ram air or a cai, which ever.

(^ lack of car knowledge )

then why mod if you dont wanna learn?

so you want the ricer affect...

dont care how it performs...if at all...you just want it to look cool?

A 4" FWI is MUCH, MUCH louder than an ebay cai.
Friend of mine has an ebay cai, that exact one you posted, he helped me put my FWI on my car, we started it up, he yelled "holy **** that sounds sick" and built his own the next day.

If you want sound, FWI is the best way to go. If you have a GT you'll get an INSANE rumble out of it, and sounds sort of like a turbo when you begin to accelerate. If you have it GTP, you'll still get a good rumble, and that s/c will whine like a *****.

Also, just thought I'd add, if you want looks, to anyone that knows anything about cars those ebay intakes look ****ing ridiculous. It's like a 2.5 inch pipe with a giant bend it it, useless. Unless your showing it to a ricer, it'll probably like the "chrome" cuz it's shiny
If seeing the filter is a must for you just go open cone, it'll give you a good sound too.

And yes, I have a TON to learn about my car, I freely admit it xD

Yeah a 4" FWI will give you the best performance gain.
And if you really don't think you can build it on your own, post for one in the wanted to buy section. I'm sure you'll find someone willing to build and paint one for you. I bought mine a long time ago off a guy on here for 45 shipped and it was built really well too. And I found a brand new cone filter sitting in my garage, so I got my 4" FWI built/painted and a filter for 45 shipped, which is still like 20 less than a useless ebay intake.
