INTENSE FWI. Get the one for 97, we can install it here later this month. Hands down the best intake for the price.

what exactly is the difference between that one and say the clear one you use thats in the engine bay? what advantages will it give me? also is the fwi better than one setup in the engine bay? thanks

I have a FWI on the Zilla. It pulls cold air from the fenderwell. Completely isolated from hot engine bay air.

My CAI on the SLEeper is fairly well shielded, and relies on a fresh supply of air around the headlight while the car is in motion, but is not as cool and efficient as the FWI.

You would spend nearly as much fabricated a CAI from scratch (there are no true kits) and fabbing a heatshield for it, and still be less efficient than the INTENSE FWI.
