The further you go, the more of the stock air intake you replace, thats already been brought up. The more you replace, the more you free up, thus the more air you can bring into the engine. The 2 piece and the 3 piece replace everything. The 2 piece puts the filter in the engine bay, the 3 piece puts it in the front fender. Since the 3 piece has the filter in the fenderwell it brings in colder air, so it would give you a little power, you wont notice too much of a difference between any of them really, but an improvment over stock power and sound no matter which one you get, I love my 3 piece but getting to the filter in the fenderwell is a pain in the ass.

1 piece is just the filter its really considered wai. 2 piece is filter and tube can be either going into the fender or can still be in the engine bay depends on the make.

that's why I just went with WAI... Easier to get to the filter and I think it looks better in my opinion... I like it!

yeah and that really doesnt answer my question
Everyone refers to the piece as the # of tubes and not include the filter.
so can someone just answer my question please, I want to make a purchase ASAP!

ok dude, get the chrome intake, it replaces that little rubber peice on your intake, that retricts a little air. So get the 85 dollar one, i bought the 3 peice one from doctorspeed and i LOVE it.

That is where my filter is too. Right behind the foglight in the fenderwell. I bought the 3 piece chrome intake of ebay....and I absolutly love it. Seriously, my car accerlates a LOT smoother and I have more power. It was suprising how much difference it made. The only hard part was the stupid screw behind the light...otherwise really easy
I recommend the 3 piece chrome intake for 82.99...it works great
