I am a rookie...
Hey guys, I just got a 2001 Type S and I love it!!!
I keep hearing talk about cold air intake. How much of a difference is that going to make versus the stock? Is this a must have? Like I said I am a rookie and I don't know these things

So, do I have a consensus on the icebox? would anybody else recommend this? does this hurt the engine in anyway???
I heard this upgrade gives you better gas mileage and also about +10 HP.
Is this true?

no damage to the engine whatsoever
it does give better mileage b/c of the better air/fuel mixture ratio (use less gas and more air)
you can get 10HP out of it

Just had my icebox installed 2 weeks ago. The butt-dyno 
confirms better low end and mid- range pickup. Actually dyno runs have been 10-15 hp and around 10 lbs-ft of tq. Not a bad mod for the money. Unfortunately, once you start modding.. trying to stop sucks...
