So my friend that I've known since 1st grade got his first car and said he started modifying it. When I went to his house and saw a black z31 turbo with REALLY nice paint I was pretty amazed. He said he had a custom intake, no cat(wtf), and an ebay cat back. He opened his hood and I looked for this custom intake. All I saw was a stock intake with this flat, white, cotton filter...When I look even close, I see it said "Hanes" It was a freakin' sock! LOL I wanted to laugh so hard too. But then when I started to head home, I wondered if that actually filtered anything. LOL does it? :confused:

Damn! If I had known that this whole time my dresser was stuffed full of custom high performance engine enhancement products I never would have spent the kind cash on making my car faster that I have! I am a fool.

If he wants to improve the flow he should move up to women's nylon hosery. Those thick white socks are killing his performance. Who needs an hks pod foam filter? His sock probably filters about the same and won't disintigrate. Other performanc uses: I used a sock to cover my power steering resevoir for when it boiled over at track events. Could be used to cover brake fluid resevoir to cut down on heat from turbo headers??
