Cool Air Intakesfedexxx0 01-21-2006, 04:41 PM I was thinking about putting in a cool air intake on my 03 tb.Would it be worth it. Any noticeable gains in horse power and fuel economy. Is one brand better than another. Schurkey 01-22-2006, 12:22 AM First Guess: 100% waste of time, money, effort, and enthusiasm. Cold air intakes are how thieves steal money from you without going to jail. Under certain, limited, circumstances, I suspect the better-designed ones don't screw up anything "too much", and may provide an additional percent or two of power or economy. For that privelige, you get to listen to the annoying bellow of the air whoosing through the pipe. Keep your tires inflated, and you'll do better than buying an intake kit for improving fuel mileage. The only "economy" you're gonna improve with the kit is the seller's... maxwedge 01-22-2006, 10:57 AM Seconded!! fedexxx0 01-23-2006, 12:04 AM Thanks for the insight guys looks like the cool air intake is out. looks like i shouldn't put any more money into it than i have to i'll save all that money for repairs on down the road from the other thread that i have read tonite.
