im torn on if i should get this
im a n/a planning on getting a supercharger eventually
if i get both the intake and the extension would i need anything else?
if i got the supercharger would i still use both the extension and the intake with no fitting problems?
and i know they got those little valves that u can put on that can insure that no water/debris can get into the intake...would that be applicable?



rj how much would this combo deal be?

thanks for any answers


if i get both the intake and the extension would i need anything else? please elaborate
if i got the supercharger would i still use both the extension and the intake with no fitting problems? no fitting problems at all
and i know they got those little valves that u can put on that can insure that no water/debris can get into the intake...would that be applicable? The only thing I can think of is that you might be talking about the AEM Bypass Valve. . . You don't need it unless you're going to submerge your filter underwater and if your filter is working right no debris should get inside the intake.

So the consensus is if you're NA it's not really worth it to do this? Or even short ram? I'm a little lost on that, can someone elaborate just a little bit for me?

It's worth it to get the Cold Air Extension when your N/A or not. I'm N/A and I love the results when I put on the CAE.

get it if you want the sound and a clean engine bay. dont get it if you are expecting more than a few horses on your N/A engine. im thinkin 5-8 top end at best.

That's fine, I wans't expecting anythign more, and I was figuring I'd end up getting it sooner or later, I was just trying to decide whether sooner or later, as my Injen intake should be arriving next week (remember I've only had my Solara for a few weeks now).

I can't find where I read someone said they're an authorized dealer or something like that? Cause UPFD said they're not selling them directly anymore right? Does anybody remmber where I might have read this (I'm justa dumbass and can't find) because I need somewhere I can order this, and hopefully powder coated in black if at all possible.

I have 150 dollars in my car expense fund right now so I was trying to figure out how to spend it. I think I can spare a few extra dollars so hopefully I'l be able to get the extension and I want to so a dyno and run a quarter in my car before I do anything to it just to see how it is still completely stock, and that will cost me about $50 together, then nothing new for my car for a little while while my fund build back up.

Thanks everyone.
