Just get a K&N drop in, you'll hear a little more intake noise and a slight but noticable response difference. And it'll ony set you back about 50-60 bucks......leaving you enough for a can of chrome colored spray paint to paint your intake tube, cause that will increase horsepower by at least 10%..lol....just kidding...you'll be happy with the K&N......

Buy a tuner with your money, skip the intake for now, and then save up and buy an intake later. You will notice a MUCH bigger difference if you get the tuner than just a non-tune required intake, especially if you are asn auto transmission. You can always buy an intake later, and download a new tune for it.

How I did it on a limited budget:
1. American Thunder Axleback exhaust. Noticed a nice difference, and the car was a lot more fun to drive, since it sounded so much better.
2. Diablosport tuner. Biggest difference performance wise over any other --- but the engine still ran out of air at higher rpms....
3.. C&L intake. Engine pulls harder throughout all rpm's -- but screams at redline now.... instead of gasping, it's chomping at the bit for more speed.

Now I have an exhaust, C&L intake and Diablosport tuner, couldn't be happier.

What you do with your money is your business, but why buy an intake now, that you will hate later?

Dude, don't buy that CAI, save another hundred bucks, buy a tuner first... trust me... why are you giong to spend 90 dollars on something you throw away in 6 months?

Get a GT take off muffler if you want something to make nice noise when you get on it... you can get one of those for 50 bucks, and it will be loud enough to muffle any intake anyway.

Stay away from ebay intakes. Read what folks say here, I did, they have been through all of this already.
