A K&N drop in would be fine with little mod at the grill so that cold air can be sucked into the intake...I do have a custom true CAI (using 2.25" tubing for MAF so no CEL or whatsoever) but, in comparison with K&N, I didnt notice any gains in either MPG or power except a hoover sound at WOT.

awesome
alright thanks, IukekiniProtege and silver astina02, i dont know if anyone saw the other thread i made, but another method to mod the air box is remove the bottom portion and zip tie the filter to the top half. I think this might be a bad idea but tell me if it isn't.

sounds like warm air intake to me... a simple mod would be taking off the plastic bit above the header and run a flexible tube (3") from the airbox inlet to the hole where all CAIs use. This will give you cold air without the hoover sound. I have done this before my CAI. This would give you better throttle response without looks and sound of CAI.

wats the hoover sound? like a levitating space ship?
Autozone sells a plastic one w robber connectors @ $20, and it's black , cuz the home depot ones are aluminum. I used that before w the factory box and worked pretty well, but I wanted something louder (besides the fact that my air box was falling apart)

Cosmo Racing does have a nice CAI that fits perfect once you get it under the fender, i installed it in about an hour and it runs really nice and has a strong sound to it. It does not create and pulling or anything so if your looking for a direct fit thatd be the best choice

I also have the Cosmo Racing CAI. It's pretty much a Injen knockoff. works well sounds good.
After this pic was taken I replaced the blue couplers with brand spankin new black ones. The intake before hand was silver, I painted it and now it's looks really good.

Yeah, lol. Those things come w crappy plastic clamps and they failed miserably, so i bought those couplers @ $5 each, so no big deal. Yes, the adapter can be found in Autozone & Pep Boys, but be aware that you need to downsize the inside for it to work. I used pvc tubbing and held it with a small piece of foam around it w a hole for the maf of course.
I'll eventually get rid of it when I can afford the turbo kit I want, maybe next year, or the next...!? or a decently priced intake, since the fools around here pretend to charge $250 for a short one, screw them.
