Honestly, for the money they cost and the limited gains you get, your best bet might just be to get an eBay intake for our car. Or yeah, you could fab one up yourself, I suppose.

if you're going turbo i would put your money towards that instead of doing the intake/header thing as they will need to be replaced when the time comes to slap the snail on. with the parts i've swipped and swapped on the ej8 i could've been boosted rolling on volks. instead i'm NA rolling on speedmasters, so definitely do your research.

if you really need something to hold you over like an injen or aem, or even a comptech icebox, hit us up and we'll see what we can hook you up with...

Buy an eBay intake for around $15 and get a K&N. Just as good.
