My car is now Iceboxed
Install wasn't too difficult once i realized what went where. I decided against removing the front bumper, instead i opted to remove the front wheel guard. I gotta give thanks for peinglong for sending me some pics of the finished installed. I may do a DIY if i have some time.
Now i got some questions for u Icebox guys. Did u notice any differences. seems like the only difference is the gas pedal is a little more responsive. Noise level is about the same, which is a little dissapointing ( i was hoping for a little more agressive note at wot).

you should have opted for a AEM/injen CAI.. just because of the sound.
Now a mod like will net you less than 0.1-0.2s in 1/4 mile could you feel the difference of 0.1s? That is 10 WHP.

Performance over show and sound any day IMO.
I love beating guys with noisy exhausts and intakes. . . reminds me of what I used to refer to guys as all show and no go . . .

If I don’t want to make noise I’ll just make sure I keep in under 5K.

I just had my icebox installed on friday, I got lazy and had it installed. I haven't had a chance to really see how much of a difference it makes yet. There wasn't much change in noise levels...the car does seem more responsive and the engine doesn't seem to bog down as easily if I end up shifting at too low an RPM (not that this is usually a concern!!)... I just noticed that when I was caught in traffic. The engine seems to rev up a little easier than before. The car feels a little quicker than before but that could also be b/c the weather has been cooler.
