Offroad use only must mean that it's good //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Nah //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif Only that one or another regulation that any given automotive product has to comply with for legality for use on public roadways hasn't been satisfactorily met.
I was only giving you static earlier, friend. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Both my headlight bulbs and my driving lights were very clearly labled Off Road Use Only on their respective packages. Think I care? Nope. Until I start getting tickets for it I cannot see myself caring anytime soon, either. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Lol
Yeah, almost every neon product you get says for offroad use only, however people still drive by cops with them on. Our cops around here don't really care what you do. As long as they don't get complaints.
Not like imma get pulled over and he checks under the hood. Even if he did, he wouldn't know that it's for offroad use only
oooo weapon r yea thats the bomb, right up there next to apc. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
how bout this champ, explain why it is you want a short ram and not a cold air intake style and why you picked that brand? is the the claims they make, or the fun pictures, maybe just the fact that the name has R?

Or just the fact that I can only find two brands CAI/Short ram. Hotshot or weapon R. The reason I am going with the Secret weapon rather than the dragon, or hotshot, its because the SW is the most expensive of the two, and I figured that since you get what you paid for applies to most other applications, it would apply in intake systems as well.
If you can point me towards a better intake that will fit my car, please do.
well i just noticed your thread about the check engine light, i'd say get that settled first. sorry bout soundin like a jackass in the first post i just tend to do that sometimes. theres probably not That many bolt on choices for that car, but as far as a general idea... for filters, most people agree that the highest flowing (but often minimal filtering) are the mushroom shaped style (ie hks super mega flow) however i've noticed a general consenus that a very good flowing and filtering is the apex'i like the one shown in the first few pics on this page: http://mkiv.com/techarticles/apexi_air_filter/index.html it is however a pretty expensive filter. as far as the ducting, pretty much a short ram style is designed for an intake air volume increase which is suited mostly towards top end power, like high rpm horsepower gains, probably a higher peak number. cold air intakes are generally the longer tubing which is geared towards increased air velocity and that generally helps out the the lower to mid rpm range and helps with a lower end torque numbers a little more rather than the peak hp numbers.
if you're shooting for performance, i'd go with a drop-in k&n cotton air filter
better flow, and a lot cheaper.
most cars come from the factory with airboxes that have cold air snorkels on them, and flow more than enough cubes to satisfy far above your stock hp, and definitely more than your factory intake manifold and heads.
depending on how your engine sounds (some sound amazing, a la vr6, while some sound like a$$) you could get it for the sound, since the factory intakes have mufflers on them (the actual airbox) but i would find a forum where people have experience with upgrades for your particular car, and find out if it's worth while. I know with most vw models (minus i believe the 1.8t) there's actually a DECREASE in performance with most upgrade air intakes, FYI.
And offroad use only just means they didn't PAY the EPA to test the product and approve it, not that it couldn't pass. Some states actually DO enforce those laws, i know in some parts of california, if they impound a car for drag racing, they inspect the car, and tack on fines for any upgrade part not specifcally approved by the state for public roads.
*edit* it's not the EPA that has to approve it, i can't remember who it is. Companies have to pay to have their products tested, tho.

^^he actually knows what he talkin about
why do you want a "performance" filter anyways? the best itll actually do is add a mere 10 hp even if that.

that looks like a waste of money......
Don't waste your money on that. Upgrade some parts on the engine first so it is accualy necessary to buy one.
