    Cut out.

    Spray it.

    Enjoy loud noises and a decently quick car.

    You will never gain any HP over baseline with any intake as the HP rating is without intake. You will pickup some otherwise lost HP and increase noise but don't expect anymore than a few horses max.

    not gonna do nitrous doesnt make sense for me. Just my car for work and very little play when the time is right, so just lookin for somethin cheap and still keepin the car reliable. Prob do an intake when i get the money. this thing is rapin me lately. Now a new injector, pads got rusted tight in the front some how and warped my rotors so bad they couldnt turn em, and they were all new w i bought the car a yr ago. pads all glazed and cracked,they were rusted right to the caliper so now new pads, rotors and hopefully just a hardware kit and that will be done. Got a noise in the tranny they said it was some sun gear or somethin, i lost interest w they said the tranny would have to come out to get fixed, so thinkin if it has to comemout anyway im gonna leave it till it gets bad then either rebuild it or get a diff one, not sure. It clunks when going from forward to reverse when u give it a little gas there is a bang in the front right side in the tranny, can kinda see it shift very little in the cv shaft, not very much gotta really be lookin for it.

    The brakes should never rub unless the pins or slides weren't lubed.
    What kind of noise is the transmission making? (The gear noise) If it's the clunk you're talking about, that could easily be an engine or transmission mount.

    Don't mod if you're having all these problems, save the money for repairs instead.
