the motor i just bought doesnt have an intake. since i have to buy one anyway, should i get a factory one or an aftermarket one. if aftermarket is a good choice, what would you recommend?

 

I went aftermarket on mine, somebody on Ebay name of 5 guys racing or something. It was cheapish, had to be modified a tad to get it to mount, but seriously, I wasn't using it as intended anyhow. The thing that ticked me off the most was that it didn't come with a coupling for the tube at the throttle body.

My advice is check out local craigslist and watch Ebay.

 

Are you talking about an air intake?

I bought a K&N off EBay and haven't had any problems with it.

If I did it again i would buy the factory box (sounds better with the supercharger and better water protection).
