It is what it is. Cold air intake isn't even gonna do **** for a supercharger. What's the difference between launching an ice cube or a cup of water at the sun. Besides velocity factors... Nothing. Them ***** are gonna melt and not even do a bit of difference. The intercooler is there to cool the supercharger. The supercharger intake is there to provide air to pressurize within the supercharger. More airflow, less restriction. But it needs to be filtered. Spinning parts and pressure and ****, bugs, yea... That's why they don't just leave that **** wide open! The stock confguration was restrictive as all hell and also deafens the banshee like wail of the supercharger... It's like giving removing the resonator and de-neuterizing the "mercedes mandated limitations" to the srt6 along with fuel economy prioritization over performance, in a marketing standpoint.
It's really not all that complicated. 900$ for an intake is some bull. Period. No point intrying to argue with me how much I'm missing out either because I would rather put that money into a better sc pulley, larger intercooler or even a meth kit.
Also, to do front mount, i forgot, 90$ kit shipped to move the vaccuum line out of the way.... More pointless money wasting. How much are the filters? Seriously. People waste money on some oretty dumb stuff imo. I try to save my money as much as possible!!!
