I bet you mine's bigger... hahaha
Worst mod I've done so far is probably the edge rear wiper - it looks great but it doesn't wipe a certain spot on my windshield unless my subs are kicking, lol
next worst is only going with alpine type R's in my trunk... they're great but I have no trunk space... also after a year I want the type x's...

Wait, it's the only one...

It's not "bad" when it's a lightly-modded car. As it stands right now it's my biggest "pull-thru" bottleneck on the engine. That or the stock tune, really.

I think the iceman is one of the best in terms of N/A intake. Full CAI has issues with wet weather and winter weather. Also your sucking air through 4ft of pipe which is a bit of a restriction too...
I've had on my old car in the following order:
Stock Box + K&N
ICE Man + K&N
Weapon-R short ram
SVT + K&N
AEM full CAI
T28 homebrew turbo kit.
AEM short ram
FSWerks Vortech Blower
If I had to do it again I'd probably spend more time/money and jump right into a proper turbo setup.
