Default Stock airbridge

Okay, I was under the impression that I bought my car with an aftermarket air intake system. Does the stock airbridge have the cross flag logo on it? Hmmm I might have a case of, its stock but lets throw a different air filter on it and call it cold air intake!

The air bridge at the bottom right hand corner of this photo is the factory air bridge:



If it looks like that then it is a stock air bridge.

Yup I have been duped! Looks like she is still running the stock intake! can anyone recommend a good aftermarket intake system? Also will an aftermarket set up unlock and HP or throttle response?

Hey Fasttimes73,

I posted in your thread in the General section about what after market intake I have. Yes, I think it will open up some throttle response and power if you get an after market CAI

To the best of my knowledge, the aftermarket air bridges are frequently extra cost add ons to the CAI. Volant advertises that their units are all-inclusive; filters, collector, air bridge, etc.
I've been very happy with my set up from Volant and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone interested in a CAI.
