I just got my car back, and part of the process of improving the breathing was to install the GM CAI to get more air in... When combined with the new exhaust - WOW!
The most amazing thing about the new breathing is that if I punch the gas with the clutch in, I can hear the intake audibly sucking in large amounts of air. It's AMAZING.
So I was driving home tonight and idling at a light listening to the new sound of the car. And a Honda S2000 pulls up next to me with a snobby-looking blonde in it. She glances over at my SKY, then looks away when she notices that I am looking at her. Still being fascinated with the new sound of the car, I punch the gas a couple of times to hear that sucking sound... "whooshvrooOOOOOMmmmmmm, whooshvrrroooooOOOOOOOOOMMMMMmmmmm ..."
She looks over at me again to see if it's my little car making that awesome sound, and so I just smiled at her. Then - picture this - she throws her head back and visibly sniffs! And she drove away with her nose up in the air looking extra-snooty. It cracked me up!
Anyway, here's the pics of the new CAI. And, before you say anything, yes - I know it has an extra bend in it that the KappaSphere doesn't have... But this one came with a Saturn Sticker! Wow! How cool is THAT? The fact that the GM is CARB compliant whereas the KappaSphere is not had nothing to do with my choice. I was hooked once I knew I got a free sticker with the GM.
