Is there any point lol
I have an Ebay special pipe on my 4th gen with an Apexi filter. The only real bad thing I can say about the pipe is that it will suck up heat from the engine bay. I wrapped my one to try and stop this from happening.

I have a heat shield over the top of mine to prevent it sucking in excess engine bay heat... but i havent wrapped it lol

Never even thought a big shiny polished metal pipe would attract heat :(
What wrap did you use??

When @Vanzep had his one installed it would hurt your hand when you touched it.

I assume you guys are talking about this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMC-CDA-Induc ... 41686f7071

Are you laughing because it is crap or because it is good?

I have aftermarket mani, downpipe and cat back exhaust but still a stock intake and was thinking of upgrading........
