Off Brand Cold Air Intake, going on vr6 12v '01?

I don't agree with Richard's thought that the intake you linked to will pull in warmer air than the stock air box, it will most likely be the exact same (ambient) temp. You're not going to get any additional power over the stock setup with any intake system. If you are after sound, a short ram setup or something that puts a cone filter directly on the MAF, with a heat shield around around it will be a better choice. If you get any kind of cone filter or a K&N drop-in filter, follow the oiling instructions exactly. Over oiling the filter is one of the common causes of premature MAF failure. If you oil the filter properly, I've never heard of someone having a problem any sooner than with the stock airbox and paper filter.
