    $40.00 Intake, why pay more????

    After looking at the Steeda Short Ram, the K&N AirCharger I decided why spend $150-$200 for a open style intake. By looking at those kits the tube that they use to replace the stock rubber hose isn't much different. So I figured why spend all that money. With the K&N Part number RF-1025 you...
