Default 1.5 D15B VTEC - Best Intake for this engine?

Hey I just got a 1.5 d15b vtec put into my 94 civic ex, and i was wondering what is a good air intake for this specific engine, and what has had the best results for you. The car is stock so this is actually going to be my first upgrade on the car, so I want to do it right. Any help works (i read the FAQ but the part about intakes doesnt mention any brands or anything for specific cars)

All intakes are about the same. They're a tube and filter. You won't notice much difference between a piece of exhaust pipe and a Skunk2 whale intake.

x2! maybe only difference is the sound, which means nothing as far as performance goes... intakes can be found on ebay cheap!

Best intake is a turbo attached to the engine.

why would he want to do that? he already has the ex manifold which is better for n/a due to the longer runners, although the y8 is good for boost it isnt as good for n/a due to the larger plenum and different runner legths anyways lol back to the original post id say just get something like a short ram air on ebay, ive had both a cold air intake and a short ram on my car the short ram feels better to me on mid-range torque but the cold air was better for top end
