# GIANT "U" vs. HOMEBREW

Posted by Negiti ('93 Max GXE) on July 17, 2003 at 21:28:13: Yoyo, I was lookin' at some of the CAI kits for this car, and there seems to be ALOT of extra tubing involved!?! I'll bet that extra tubing adds *weight* as well as . . something. ALSO, there's generally a GIGANTIC "U" in the intake, as well as the requisite bend going into the fender well. The "U" and all that extra tubing . . is it there to make the car go *FASTER*??? Or is it there because they were too WEAK to do something about the MAF harness??? Gee, I can't tell. Can someone figure this out for me? BTW, it's eighty-five bucks + filter for the *finished product" - in the fender well, stainless 3".
