if this is the case, don't go with anything over 8.5inch wide, make sure the lug pattern is 114.3x5, and make sure the offset isnt under 35
if you stick to those rules you should be fine

Hello Everybody! I am talking to a shop in Hayward for a Dyno Day for us in the Bay Area. I am just throwing out the idea to see if anyone is interested. If there is enough interest, it will probably be set up in 2-3 weeks on a saturday.
Price: $60 for 3 pulls with wideband.
Let me know!

Hey, im planning on getting intake soon for my car but in the mean time i need to pick up a regular airfilter for my 8. should i just say screw it and go with a FRAM or should i put up the 70 bucks for a K&N airfilter. Will the engine make a better sound with just the K&N in there or no? Cuz i do believe that its the tube that makes the sound

You won't hear any difference no matter what filter you buy. If you take off that tube, it will sound better. If you are going to buy an intake, you might as well go cheap and get the fram.
