1. IT isn't B.S. if you don't rev it up to hear the pretty sounds.

2. Make your own money so your mom can't tell you what to do.

3. If that doesn't work steal the money out of her wallet.

4. You can get them on ebay for like 25 bucks. Remember it is just a pipe with a filter on it. Have a friend custom making me one for 50 bucks.

Dear god...advocating theft LOL

If she won't get you an intake, start working yourself and buy your own. She can't get too mad cause it's not her money.

Your last option is to sell something...true story:

My first real modification was an intake on my sunfire....I sold my Playstation 2 to get it because I didn't really play it at all . Funny thing is that I bought another Playstation 2 just to play Gran Turismo 4

Tell her you want to make working on your car, your hobby, and that you are willing to give up something else you do in your spare time which wastes time, like, playstation 2, coin collecting or spankee your yankee, Tell her "everyone else is doing it" and if you don't you won't be cool like the rust of us on JBO

If she tries to pull the "i payed for the car dont mess with it" spchiel then get a job and work every night and weekend and buy your own car.

If i were in your shoes I would tell your mom that you are going outside to "detail" your engine bay,and then remove the factory intake (box and all) and tell her it as to come out of the car to clean it better. (That will show that your taking care of your belongings moms like that) at that point place it in the middle of the driveway or slightly into trafic. Now this is where timing is critical, you need a friend to "pull" into your driveway at a decent pace in a truck prefurbley.

Now he must "accidently" smash the living crap out of it and at this point you should say oh poop mom time to go to the dealer and get a new fatroy intake system. When she sees the price she will @!#$ biskits and allow you to save money and gain fuel economey with your shiney new metal tube.







And if that doesn't work modifly the stock intake box and rvt a k&n filter into the lid and cut the sides and bottom out of the factory box .....wola "performance stock intake"



lol yea thats the best i could come up with.

just tell your mom you are going to mod your car regardless of what she says. it's not the mods that make a motor go to @!#$ if that is what she is worried about. it's the driver.




I was a retard, and now I'm permanently banned.

How often does your mother look under your hood? Its not always the best way, but just buy it and install it... What she doesn't know she can't get mad about. right?

Ive done that on mine and my dad usually finds everthing I have done later on the road and just laughs at me.

Tell her you needa lil extra pep getting on highways and accelerating a faster car isnt necessarily dangerous there are times when speed is good to have as long as its not abused.
