Me again .. Air Intake questions
Hey guys,
I want to get an air intake for my 9-3 but i have no idea whats a good intake for my car or whats the best. Ive seen a couple online but im not sure whats a good one. Does anyone have any preferences ? Also, if you could give me the websites where to get them from that would be awesome! Last question! Does the intake create any problem to the engine? I heard soemthing about the CEL light showing up after an intake was installed. Id like to have one as well but if its gonna create problems id rather not.
Thank you,
Alex,

I was kind of wondering about this today myself.
Not so much because I want one, but because it looks like the stock intake might be slightly restrictive, especially for a turbo car.
Stock works though. Just seems like it wouldn't be hard to improve a little on the design.

I put a new air intake on a Mustang I had once. I didn't have much trouble with it at all. Some of the seals weren't made to well, and I just had to keep a good watch on them to make sure they stayed sealed properly. Anytime a small leak would form, is the only time I'd get a CEL.
Hopefully the newer Air Inductions are better built than the one I had from the good ol days. Of course, mine was mostly home built too, not store bought.

That's always were my trouble was, is the rubber seal right behind the MAF would eventually work loose, and the smallest air leaks would turn the CEL on. So hopefully, the new designs take care of most of those problems.
