More importantly tho; it looks cool, sounds hot, and I got some neat decals!!!

If im not mistaken the airraid doesnt replace the whole intake tube, this is one thing that kind of steers be away from it. Would it not be more beneficial to have the whole intake tube replaced?

I gotta tend to that need a cat and cat back system now. You can feel the performance tho def worth the money.
