Thats what i was gonna say. an intake is an intake, your just paying for the name. stick with the setup you got now, or go ebay if you want it to look nicer.

you should just buy one on ebay its like $40 and it will be easier on your engine to get air and give you a xtra like 15 HP even if u dont notice it its still a nice looking mod
