you wont loose torque

dont make up shit

youll loose slight bottom end throttle response, but it will be barely noticeable

dont get a pod.

on a totally stock car they are pointless

get some plsatic flexi piping, run it from inside of the guard or the byumper bar up to the bottom of teh stock airbox, and feed it in there

replace stock filter with a high flow K&N item

cheap, effective, and not illegal like a pod
