Default I really shouldn't be allowed to own tools.

Well, my friend was dropped on his head as a child and decieded to trade in his xa. Well when he got the car he decided that he wanted a K&N Cold Air intake. But since that would probably hurt his trade in value I got the idea of putting it on my Xb. And i just thought i would let you all know that it fits beautifully and really adds a nice amount of pull and a great throaty sound. will post pics and installation info if wanted.
Why is this important? Well one the oil return line?? is before the MAF, on the intake unilke the one designed for the xb from K&N.
Just speading the knowledge.

UPDATE: PICTURES

Yeah buddy, that last sentence doesn't make any sense.

Looks like this generation is screwed given by the way people use grammar here....

No, you are just to critical, this is a forum, not an english class. Quit being a jerk.

Looks like you can change your signature, it is no longer stock :D

Default ....SPEAK ENGLISH...

I drive like a jerk because this isn't driving school.
Same excuse, do you like what you see on the road? It is everyone doing whatever is easist for their own selfish selfs.

This is what english class was trying to prepair you for, the ability to communicate in an articulate manner with other people.

Fools post without previewing their own words, they don't have time.
TRANSLATION:
My time is too important to me, so all you fools will have to re-read my twisted logic, ebonic blather postings. I only care about wasting MY TIME, every one else can waste all day long trying to understand what I post.

This is what HOLLYWOOD teaches us and it is HOLLYWOOD that is doing all the teaching in America today. School knowledge is for 'ERCLE" types.

Sir Scion, can you please translate that question in the top post for us?

No need to be nasty, Hawk.

Forums are ment to be fun, not critical. He could have simply said 'good for you, your first mod!' Or ' I'm sorry, I didnt understand your last comment.'

I was simply saying that he was too critical, he comes in here, and says that the world is going to hell because this guy cannot type clearly enough for him.

HE SAID, in simple terms: " Installation instructions may be important because, for one: the oil return line gets in the way on the xA intake, unlike the one specifically designed for the xB."

No comment on the Hollywood comment.

EVERY generation thinks that the next generation is going to F things up because they are 'too immature' 'too stupid' or 'not focused enough.' Yet the world seems to go on, generation to generation. It is the same way your parents thought about your generation, and their parents thought about their generation, and so on and so forth.

Default ....spank me, but only in ENGLISH..

I view it as a downward spirial. When I was a LAD, I would be slapped if I said 'yea' instead of yes. Until the Beatles opened the gates to 'SLANG'
I don't mean to seem 'nasty'. I just don't want to strain my brain trying to interpolate.

Thanks, Amazing translation skills.

Well the intake is working out great. I have gone through two tanks of gas since putting it on and if I stay at 75 mph, shift around 3500-4200 approximate r.p.m. I noticed a three mile per gallon increase on mixed highway and city driving. However, if I step on it and shift close to redline I will only get about twenty nine m.p.g. To clear up my last comment on my first post in this thread, I am spreading the knowledge that the Xa intake will fit on the Xb. Why is this important? Well, if you see a steal on an Xa intake on ebay or online somewhere, you can save a buck and not worry about fitment issues.
p.s. I proofread this one lol..
Greg.
