Ok i hate to jumpstart an older thread but i figured it was better than starting a new one.

I have always loved the look of the AFE intake, looks more prof., but the ddm doesnt use the stock hose and the AFE does. Anyone know where i can get a good hose that WILL WORK for the afe intake?

the sound sounds monstrous doesn't it??/ haha it's so awesome.

and btw, some people say that after getting an exhaust taht the sound of the intake compeltely disappears.

well trust me that is NOT true. i mean to an extent, the intake's sound will be covered up by the catback's exhaust, but during the rev up the intake will swoop in and make it's sound. you'll just need to listen.
