    Snakeoil intake is snakeoil. Shove a 9" cone filter on for $45, and save that $100 for a performance upgrade. Or try something like this: http://www.automatcentral.com/pontia...-shortram.html

    Though, I am admittedly intrigued that they advertize a product for 04+.

    Personal Preference really,
    Air Induction: 3800 Performance

    ^^^ Has several different options to choose from, but If your supercharged there is a thread showing dyno tuning allowing for a standard open cone "hot air" intake made more power than a cold air intake setup

    http://www.grandprixforums.net/dyno-...ake-33225.html

    ^^^Did all the work for ya

    Ok...here it is.

    Stock or close to it...or on something bigger than a 3.4"...you want a fenderwell or something getting as cold of air as possible. When your at a 3.4" or lower...and your blower is just gettin' stupid hot...it doesn't matter about intake placement, hell even the IAT doesn't matter since 90% of people just zip tie it to the TB bracket. A filter bolted to the TB is the best bet. I'll take a picture of my engine bay lunch and post it in here...just for reference.
