[s-cars] air intake choices

[Evan Levine]

I rigged up a custom intake like this... I was very very pleased with
my work (modest guy I know). But truthfully it was on my car all of 20
minutes... it felt no faster, any temp changes were trivial at best,
and it was way too loud for me. After all the time and thought that
went into mine, my conclusion was that Audi really did a pretty damn
good job.
