1. depends on how well you take care of it and how much you beat on it

2. they work decently if all you're looking for is a little bit more power

3. not if you want to keep your warranty with it. it is possible as i have seen a few s/c with intakes. they could of been the MMW s/c intake or whatever though

4. again, it depends on what you're looking for. some say it's crap, others love it. form your own opinions based on what you want/need

1. depends how hard you are on it.
2. works OK if you arent looking for a tremendous boost in power
3. you can use you CAI but it takes some fabricatioin. i still have mine but you have to cut it right after the mass air sensor.
4. people have different opinions, personally i like it. perfect for the street.

check around for prices they are all over the place. ebay is good!

1. Depends on the way you drive and how hard you run it, and if you get better bearings...i understand though that the 07 s/c is much better with the bearings
2. That's what they're designed for solely
3. You need some modification to make it fit, but yes it will fit with some work
4. the ones for the 05-06 are POS' IMO, until you upgrade the bearings to higher speed closed loop ones...other than that, it's aight

I also have a 05, and I might get but I'm not sure. Are the bearings expensive?
