44093, Cold Air Intake and Final Drive Mod
Posted by develitate, Feb-11-03 11:35 AM
I live in SLC UT, the winters here are very cold. Ive heard its a bad idea to have cold air intake in bad weather. Would I be better off buying a short ram intake? Also I hear a lot of you guys talking about the Final Drive Mod. What is it, what does it do, and how hard is it to install? The only thing I know about it is that it can only be done on AT. Thanks

if u have snhow its a good idea to put for stock intake back on or remove the lower half of your cold air intake so snow doesn't clog the filter in the winter...

if u live in flood season might be an idea to leave it off for that season or be careful


the final drive mod is only done to AT's and it changes the gear ratio for the better =)

HP gain of zero
this is not a power enhacement mod but a mod that will deliver your available to the ground more efficiently becaise of the higher ratio your car will have

Expect better acceleration, and not so good gas mileage with the final drive mod. Get a CAI, because everybody will tell you it's a must when modding your car.
