Cheap and good don't neccessarily equate to the same thing. GO with a AEM or Comptech. If those are too expensive for you. Go to Home Depot and rig up a DIY CAI. DO a search on cold air intakes and find out.

AEM CAI for a sohc, then do a little bit of cutting of the intake to fit. It'll work.

Was looking at one last night if you have any doubts.

Dude, after the swap. I hardly have any money left for anything. That's why I want something cheap.

I can get Injen and AEM intakes for a good price. Injen IS intakes are the "cheapest price".

Yeah, just use a reducer coupling, the difference is like .25" ! That is if you have an aem already...
otherwise, make a quick trip to Home Depot for some ducting... (it actually works)
