BOMZ intakes
I have a 96 Cavalier 2.2L and I was wondering if I should get a BOMZ short ram intake for it. Are there any noticeable performance changes and overall, is it worth getting one?

Re: BOMZ intakes
If you still feel like getting it after reading this follow these 2 steps.
Step 1: Beat head on wall.
Step 2: Repeat step 1 untill either the wall caves in or your forehead does.
Bomz intakes are cheap ebay crap. If you want to go that route then you might as well save a few more bucks and get an AEM filter and cram it onto what ever piece of stock intake pipe it will fit on.

Re: BOMZ intakes
Alright, I guess I won't get one then. Do you know of any really good intakes that are fairly cheap.

Re: BOMZ intakes
Frankly, if you want good parts and good gains you are going to have to crack that wallet open a bit more then a trip to the local walmart. No, Im not trying to be an ass or imply that you are cheap and what not I am mainly trying to get the point across that speed costs. How fast do you want to go.
Most people look at an AEM cold air intake and cant get past the $200 but in the long run you need to think about all the money you save in not only gas but all those damn disposable filters.
Right now in my 04 I have intake, exhaust and a few other air flow/temp improving mods and the few times I can go a full tank with out putting my foot into it too much I can get 430+ miles on a full tank. I doubt I would be getting that if I went cheap on everything. So you see its worth it in the long run to just say screw it.

Re: BOMZ intakes
Ok thanks for your help, I'll get a higher end one. So, the AEM intake is something I should look into then?

Re: BOMZ intakes
I know others have their own likes dislikes and facts but as far as Im concerned you cant beat performance and gas saving wise on either AEM or Injen.

Re: BOMZ intakes
haha ur right. Bent metal is bent metal, untill it falls of cuz it was a $30 bolt on from ebay. Then its bent metal in the middle of the free way. I agree with get the more expensive, if its what you want. If you want more from what you buy, you are going to ahve to spend more.

your a dumbass. they are also made out of different metal and smooth out better. You'll think that cheap piece of tin crap is just the same as everything else till it messes up and rattles on your hood and gets super hot after 5 mins of driving

 all the way with this. you get what you pay for. you might as well just spend the extra money and get something that will last longer than ebay stuff.

Don't listen to this fool pbfreak, he's just one of those senseless noobs, last time I checked, AEM doesnt make an intake for the 2.2, go with an Injen one that's on eBay Injen's just as good as AEM. That's where I got mine from on my 2.2, it was like $210 or something like that.

Yeah a Cold air intake gets hot......****ing ***** ***
Another thing is you shouldnt put $200 parts in a car like a cavalier that can only get too 300hp.
If you were putting parts in a corvette it would be a different story.
You guys act like a bunch of ****ing girls shopping for clothes.
This is the intake in getting http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1
