Didn't know what the correct name was for it till after my first post. I knew it wasn't a true roll bar because off how it is fastened to the car. I had a true one on my old k5 blazer, it tied into the frame at 4 points and did not just fasten to the body with 2 little bolts. Eventually I may get a real one for it, haven't decided what my true plans are for the car just yet. Thanks for the warning though.

Welcome, Welcome! As someone who sells auto parts you must know that htese little cars are pretty much bulletproof. Even "weak" parts last forever and are cheap to replace. I concur that you should go back to the factory intake unless you are going with FI. I experimented with several intakes and they all had a negative effect on the car.

LOL, I thought I had coined the phrase Hot Air Intake!
There is one that works rather well, it's called the Randall Intake. Basically you drill a large hole in the upper part of the firewall above the clutch slave cylinder and route tubing to the air box. It has been proven to give slight gains as opposed to losses. I would do it myself but I have sort of an OCD thing about my engine bays.
