if you live in cali buy injen or aem for the C.A.R.B. sticker to save yourself the hassle....if not buy an ebay intake, make a silly hat out of the filter they send you, go buy a K&N filter from the auto parts store and attach it to the ebay intake pipe.

If you pay more than 100$ for any intake, your a fool.

Back in the day Sport Compact Car did a test and AEM cold air intake won a couple different times. They had the dyno numbers showing that it freed up as much as 10 hp at certain rpms. I don't see how Injen is even a contender. At one time they were just as ghetto as Tenzo R, now all the sudden they make good stuff?

And the name is good! Wish I had one, just so I could tell people what it is (and look at it while masturbating vigorously at all the carbon fiber goodness)

I honestly would not even pay the 250+ that it costs for a CAI. Knock out the baffle on your stock box and drop a K&N in. Or if anything see if you can find an intake tube and use it with the existing stock airbox.

i got the aem v2 for my 2000 ex, used for 125, never dynoed it but it sure sounds nice. The hp won't really be noticable anyway no i don't see that point of paying alot.
