don't waste your money on AEM.

An ebay cold air intake is just as good, just make sure buy a better quality filter.

Yeep, intake is an intake.. It's a long tube that extends down near the front of the fender to get cooler air. Go with a cheap ebay 1 and then buy a good filter to fit it.. K&N is a good choice.. Filter won't be too expensive either because it will be universal.

as said ebay intake , why hasnt anyone said anything about the header?!?!?! DO NOT get a dc, waste of money, AT LEAST go with a prospeed if not something better, assuming of course that you have no intention of any kind of FI in the future

starts at $500, may seem expensive but gains of 2-3 times that of the dc make the extra $200 or so worth it....search around HT about header

everyone is always saying get the ebay intake. Id rather pay a little bit extra for an AEM CAI or short ram and get the carb sticker in the event u get pulled over. At least in cali that ****** happens on daily basis. damn bored cops

Toda doesnt make an h22 header, good try though.
