Intake hose?

I have heard that switching to a straight pipe does nothing to increase performance; it may increase the noise since you're removing the resonator. Two things you have to consider when getting one of the straight pipes is the fact that the inner diameter at the throttle body and the MAF are different; you would need an adapter / coupler to get a fit. Secondly, you have to make sure there is a spot for the intake air temp sensor in the tube - otherwise you have to drill one and throw a grommet in there.

I'm still looking for an intake tube myself... short of the full-blown kit (filter + tube), I'm having difficulty finding one for a n/a.
