ebay special, intakes are basically all the same, just get yourself a decent filter

bolt ons will add only minimal power gains at best to your d16y7

i say keep the stock w/ airbox. in my opinion it will perform better than an after market one.

if you still want an aftermarket one an ebay normal one is pretty much the same as the more expensive ones. only thing the more expensive one offers is a legal carb sticker.

You won't get a real increase in performance with an intake.

Ebay with K&N filter on it. If you have the money AEM from ebay. They are cheap these days and you might find a good deal on one. Sounds like you are already set on buying one so do it if you want. It's YOUR car.

i see alot of people just take the box off and put a k&n filter on the stock tube saves you alot of money its the filter that makes the differents not what sticker you have on your intake piping
