JLT or C&L or Steeda or Etc.

But they all require a tune.

OMG, if I had a nickel for every time I answered this question...

For under $350, you CAN get a CAI but it won't do much for you. Even the ones advertised as to not need a tune have been known to throw a CEL.

All of the CAI's are pretty much equivalent in performance. The recommendations you'll get here are to save your money until you can afford a CAI & tune combo, then pick a good tuner (Brenspeed, Bama, VMP, etc.).
