an intake is just a tube with a filter... anything off ebay/homedepot/jc whitney/ would work just perfectly fine, just make sure you have a decent air filter...

anyone remember who made the DIY intake with a 2.5in piping?

if you want a name brand... AEM is fine.

If you want to get your best bang for your buck, any generic intake with a good filter will do just fine....

...like he said up there ^

buy ebay CAI piping, put it upside down, drill a hole in your hood.
that way you can go underwater like a snorkel and also get a better flow of air on the highway

bending own pipe + apex or HKS filter works great. allthough i didnt bend it i cut my stock pipe flipped it and placed an airfilter. you on the other hand wont need to worry about that since thay make ones for your car.

dont get the HKS filter....it filters very poorly, and is expensive to replace, as they cant be cleaned

A'pexi and K&N have been dyno tested to give most power, and A'pexi just barely beats on K&N in filtration.....K&N is, however, less expensive, and easier to get

AEM probably your best bet if you go that way dont buy the new VG2 or something V2 intake its just an extra 30 bucks for nothing, but if you dont want to spend much you can always cut a hole in your existing plastic box.
