I can not hear the sound difference(or either I am already used to it after using it for one night) and can not tell power difference. Was this a waste of my $? heh. thanks in advance. Hope I installed this intake correctly.

I found the problem with teh PRM intake was it did not replace the hose all the way to the throttle body.

i bought a ractive cold air system for the SOHC with little modification i attachted it to the DOHC. i noticed a much deeper sound, and a little bit of differnce on my top end.

i dont think you installed it wrong cause your car wouldnt really work. do you have an aftermarket exhaust system on your car ? if so the sound from that might cover of the sound frok the intake.
do you hear a sucking noise from the intake now or not ? on mine you can really hear the air being sucked into the intake.
anyway hoped this helps ya out bro.

No aftermarket exhaust and no I can't hear the air being sucked in. Don't know what to do.

I did find one thing...the nipple is not connected to anything, I don't see a vacuum line that came from the stock intake to put on there..

I just wanted to know when u install the intake on the sohc there is a box with a hose coming iut of it just behind a below the headlight does this need to be connected to the intake or not.

Its a 4 banger 1.6, there won't be much difference in power, YOU want difference in power, 2 words for ya bro, BPT SWAP and you'll hear an amazing sound difference....the sweet sound of the BOV!

ya its true that the intake wont do a hell of a lot but it wont hurt.

ah who needs turbo when you got N20

Cause all the preparation and cost can be about the same, except you don't have to refill a turbo.

N20 = turbo in a bottle

I know, I mean from what I've seen (not that I've looked too hard) N2O kits cost about 800-1000$ Canadian.

ya a good kit will run you likt 1000 cdn thats not bad, and install isnt all that hard.

but if you really want a kit you can find someone selling their old one i bought mine for 400 cdn cause the guy had a kid and his wife wouldnt let him have the stuff in the car.
i got lucky i guess.

ya but n20 doesnt effect my daily drive ability and thats what i need.

and a turo would have cost me for more then 400.

but i do long to hear the psssst from a BOV

I have a 4 banger 1.6 and a PRM Intake. I can definitely hear it sucking air and a LITTLE extra performance on the top end. Nothing drastic though.
