Since I feel the NA route is the way to go with the S2K, I have decided to try out something radical:





There are no firm dyno numbers, but rumor from Japan has this particular intake producing much more HPs and torque. Remember, that's a RUMOR and has NOT been substantiated.

This whole setup is pretty pricey, and here's my question: Would you be interested in having the Mingster find out how much gains are possible from this expensive setup?

Big increases, no effect on warranty, less than $1,000 and I am in.

It's basically 2 parts: a cold air intake box with a big ass filter and what is called the "intake chamber". you can buy just the intake box but it's better with the whole setup.

no sure info on gain,but I think they claim something like 11/12 hp increase.
