help me spend

a few bucks.

1999 frc stock, 57k miles, strong dyno numbers. would like to spend a few hundred and get the most (and safest) bang for those bucks. thinking a new air intake system would be the start, yes? which one and why? or?

with a $350-400ish budget, what would you do? daily driver.

thanks gang

As mentioned above the Vararam and Honker are good. I switched to the Honker after having the Vararam for a couple of years. I don't know if the fit and finish of the Vararam has improved or not over the past few years but the one I had left a little to be desired.

with some looking into the honker looks better. the car is a daily driver and i'm seeing reports of hydrolock using the vararam - as well as fit and finish issues.

thanks gang!
