Is it worth upgrading my intake piping?

Howdy,

Do you guys think its worth changing out the stock intake piping for aftermarket stuff? would it make a noticeble differance?

I would say it is, better airflow, looks better, gains of maybe 3% so nothing major there.

I kind of left this one on the back burner for a while.

If anyone else has any opinions, feel free

We did on ours, cos it was cheap to do... tho we were kinda hunting for a way to make the car louder since stock its so silent... and w/the "cone on a stick" for the miaats, it growls the engine sound right up.... zero change in sound on the rotary tho (we suspect it has to do with the complete lack of "valves" in the rotary... ehe...)

dunno if we really felt any power increase... but it is lighter than the stock box... and we're constantly hunting for ways to get the weight down
