air intake size

[mastaBO]

alright, when I bought the car, the intake was already in it. And it looks like a 3inch. since my car is NT doesnt it need 2.5? I read in this forum somewhere that if you put in a 3in, the car does not get so much power in accleration. Since im thinking about getting my tranny fixed, before i go ahead with that, i want to try the intake and change it. Yall think it will help? I can feel the power of the motor but there is just no accleration.
Thanks in advance!

If I should get an intake, what should i get? i want to spend about 50bucks or so.

i think my intake is 3 inch. it is the same size as the throttle body.

the intake sizes usually range from 2.5 to 3 depending on manufacture. 3 will not hurt it for air intake since it just increases air flow into the throttle body. You do not want 3" exhaust pipe, that should be 2.5

alright, Ill get a 2.5 pipe. The one i got now is a 3in.
Thanks for da input.

.....he said exhaust. As in the pipe under your car. No reason to buy another cai, they hardly do anything how it is. Why'd you buy the car if it didnt feel fast.
