    I'm new to GPForums, and just purchased a 2005 GTP Comp G. The car is bone stock. I want to do some minor mods...exhaust, intake, and possibly a smaller pulley. I have done significant research on different intakes, but have yet to find a definitive answer on which is better - a cold air or fender well intake. I feel confident enough to make my own FWI if that is the route I choose. But want to make sure that it's the best for my car. I don't plan on racing. Just want a little more power and nice sound to incorporate with a future exhaust system.

    honestly...i dont thinkk we will ever get a definitive answer.
    thats because the differences are so small that it doesnt matter!
    if you ran a cone right off the throttle body, your supercharger will get so much louder. it all depends on what you wanna do.

    He's an 05, so he has a MAS to deal with too.

    A coupler from the supercharger to the maf sensor, then on the other side of the maf sensor, put a filter. Done deal, that's what I did
