well i was changing my air filter in my gsr and got to thinking that for only 20 more dollars than the price of an oem replacement filter i could pick up one of those cheap short ram style ebay intakes would i actually be hurting myself by doing this or would it really help my car breath a little better albeit being a little ricey this basically is just temporary until i get my turbo kit , also do the filters on the valvecover i think their called "breather filters" help or hurt more from what i understand they take some pressure off the engine but i dunno just curious <_<
 
not the carb legal intake filters such as injen and aem, i think k and n to
 
Get a cheap ebay one and then get some exhaust wrap, or heat shilding wrap and wrap up the tube. Better than AEM!! :D
