intercoolers are for boosted cars. when boosting, the turbo/supercharger creates alot of heat. hot air is less dense than cooler air. the cooler, denser air allows for more fuel, and more power.
so on a naturally aspirated car, they do exactly squat.

are you talking about an FMIC, or a cold-air intake? in the end for n/a, BFI rules the roost.

Wow,,, they make those for our cars?!?

I've only ever seen those on Civics and Integras... Not hating or stereotyping towards the ricer side of things, but I thought those were only made for those cars...

OOhhh, those things. Wow I havent seen one in years. I would say for a "true" cold air that would be ideal, but filter quality would be at question. Can you put your choice of filter in it? What happens when it gets dirty? Is it cotton element or synthetic?

But hands down question, is would you rather pay for that or have a BFI for free?

The seal around the filter on that thing isn't good, you would have to use silicone and seal it really good, which would give you a hard time when the time comes to replace your filter, I own a Honda and I've seen all kinds of intakes lol

I forgot to say that the diameter of the pipe is too small as well.
