Re: HELP! air intake
the only stupid/dumb question is the one that is not asked . in california you are very limited to modifications . check with some local 3rd gen groups . they should know what you can & can't do . good luck .

Re: HELP! air intake
It helps, but you are only going to see a mile or two HW mpg difference along with a few HP increase. Cold air helps a lot, but don't spend anything over a hundred because you will just be wasting your money for any crazy dual intake, a simple 3" or 4" cai is great though
