No, don't do it. Just get an intake and enjoy.

You can spend your money on better things like stickers that add 10whp per sticker!

as one of my auto teachers says, u put a intake in to smooth out air flow. so supposodly you put this in your stock intake to improve air flow, yet... the whole purpose is to smooth out airflow, but your putting something in the intake that could possibly cause resistance? it doesnt make sense! and actually my school did get one, we put it on a chassis dyno. the vehicle actually made less HP and TQ with the "turbonator" in the intake.

Go ahead and buy it. While you're there, see if they will toss in a Caps Lock key for nothing.
