any reputable brand is good... K&N, JLT, Steeda... there are so many... and it's not like it's gonna make a huge gain anyways... I've got K&N I like mine just fine

I don't think it matters either. They all claim 15-20 hp and add like 5hp to a stock motor if your lucky.

think of CAI advertisements as like a " make $10,000 working at home" commercial.

i recomend K&N FIPK or the Densecharger.

Not trying to bust your ***** or anything but this would easily be answered by doing a search.

While at the speed shop today I had a long talk with the tech about this subject. First off, anything metal used as an intake is no good, heat saturation robs ponies. Second, the short ram air kits, do the same, pull in air from the engine bay which is worse than your stock intake, whether its plastic or not. The best way to go is the K&N FIPK II, or any similar plastic intake that draws air from the fender well. Now the difference is minute, 1-2 HP at MOST. So if your willing to give up that extra power for a chromed out engine bay, its your call.
