Ive used some in the past that i got from Kam Racing which was decent, didnt look amazing but worked well and was pretty strong.

Thats what it was, if you work out the diameter you need to can get it cheaper nowadays on ebay, in decent lengths too.

im not sure about this guys idea but as far as the part youve asked about id say its certainly worth a try at that price...im not keen on the blue pipe but the blue ends look ok...it will extend to three feet long so should fit ok...

Send a pic if u go for it...

if uv got a cone filter , you jus channel a pipe from
a cold air supply normaly faceing forward behind the grill of your front bumper and put the other end of the pipe facing into your filter so that it sucks the cold air in, its a lot better for your car and might get u 1 or 2 bhp lol but its also healthier

Healthier? Very debatable. If it was better for your car, the manufacturers would use it from factory.

Not necessarily ...a k&n filter is certainly better than a standard one but they dont fit them...that goes for all performance products and upgrades i dare say...

by healthier i ment if u were to have a cone filter on your car before you bought it fitting a cold air feeed pipe would make it healthier, im not compareing it to the standard air box and filter

True, I give you that, but I wasn't talking about a panel filter, nor would I call that a performance upgrade. The guy was talking about a cone filter and a cold air feed, something entirely different.
