intake
Which brand name of cold air intake do you guys suggest? I saw some cold air intake from Ebay that claimed they will work with P5, should I trust them?
I notice that the intake system in our P5 is a bit different than other car. There is a section along the tube that is plugged with some wires and something look like a fuse. What are those wires for and what the section does? In my old car, the 94 Corolla, the intake system is just a plain simply tube with none electrical parts. Hope someone can give me some idea of what it is.
PS, I am not sure if I should post this here or I should post this to other part of the forum. Please correct me if I did wrong.

I just went to some sites that sell the intake you were talking about.
After the installation, the cone filter stick very deep down under the hood. I am wonder, if there is a light flooding, will that make it worse than the original intake since the original one opening is higher on the hood.
I remember seeing some photos or some people's P5s, some of them have the cone shape filter located higher inside the hood. I think they located it at where the old filter box used to be. Anyone know what that intake system called?

Well I like the sound of the Ractive intake....
By the way, since you drive a 2003 Protege5, your car is considered a 3rd Generation Protege
There is a section for 'Engine/Drivetrain' where questions about intakes have been covered 'x' times, as 'x' approaches 'positive infinity'
get the Ractive one, you know you want it

Sorry that I ask so many question.
Does it come with installation instruction?
I wish you can take some pics of your hood and show it to us sometime.
I really would like to see how it look inside the MP5 hood.

to me, 200 more bucks for 1-2 HP isn't worth it. I don't have pics of my car but here is a pic of what it looks like, http://www.madisonclub.org/p5.html no there are no instructions, but its pretty straight forward just look at this pic.
