I have a 1997 Saturn SC2, and I am intrested in putting an intake system into it, I am really leaning toward a Cold air induction, some people tell me that an Ice Box induction is better. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Keep in mind that you get about 3hp for every 100 degrees you drop the air temperature on a 2 liter engine, and you're not going to manage to drop the temp 100 degrees...
This has got to be the best segment of the aftermarket, as far as the manufacturer is concerned, with a few mandrel bends and an air filter, they can charge upwards of $150, and people pay it!
If you do it with carbon fiber, you'll have people paying hundreds more!
It's the same with carbon fiber hoods, you don't need CF in a hood, it's not any lighter than fiberglass! The advantage of CF is it's torsional rigidity, the fact that it's really stiff.
