just go a 3 inch induction tubing... check out the "group buy" in the forsale section... lose throttle responce?? HHMM... not noticable.. but definatly better than strangling the engine...

If I had to choose between EL or Au, I would choose the AU One for 1 reason and 1 reason only. The EL intake flex's on the 90 degree turn just before the throttle body restricting flow. AU being ABS plastic doesnt do this.

but if you EF setup is still OK I wouldnt change it, it wont make that much difference.
