I got the power duct, much larger than the stock
If your going to get it, get it all, no use in half assing it

Its either first class, or halfassed.
I don't have one.. my car scares me as it is.. its tough being old and having to look " through " the steering wheel, and IM at the point where my new seat skins might be purchased through the Depends company.

Just sayin

If you're going to do a CAI, I'd like to recommend the Callaway Honker. It is made much better and the fit and installation are better. Plus since you were asking about the duct, you don't need it at all because it is integrated into the one-piece design of the intake. Works as well as the Vararam with the advantages I mentioned.

I have read with the honker you have to do some cutting and I really want to stay away from that.

Get the duct yes. Vararam bit of a pain to install but if you do it do it right the first time. I had bottom feeder like the honker looks more stockish but the vararam you really feel the POWER!
