i made a post earlier, they told me to just get a regular intake pipe with a K&N filter and you're set. i also heard good stuff about dc sport headers. i don't know possibly could be debated.

That's probably your best bet.
Though for an HX with a stock motor you're probably better off just getting a 60 dollar ebay special instead of spending 400 on a DC Sports header.
Cheap ebay pipe + K&N or AEM filter = Win.
Though in all honesty you're not gonna notice jack **** of an increase in power - maybe a little throttle response because of the shorter piping is all - you won't really gain any HP, maybe 1-2hp - not worth it IMO.

aem,injen,fujita,etc are good brands... check in the sponsor marketplace for a good deal. to install: remove the airbox, and intake tube. replace with new intake per manf. instructions.
