Weaponx12o is on a distinguished road
for your car, you have these options: AEM SRI, Injen SRI or CAI, K&N FIPKII, RacerDesign intake. search for those and pick the one you like.

ive heard that the K&N FIPKII was great, but the Injen CAI is the only CAI you can get for an auto. if you get the CAI, make sure to get an AEM bypass valve. that way you can't get water into the manifold

or get the Injen Cai that is 2 pieces. So I guess its the injen short ram with the cold air extension.

I'd go for the cai or the k&n with sheild. The oem intake sucks air from just behind the passenger headlight for a cooler temp. The idea of replacing a very nonrestrictive intake with one that is going to pull hot air is just ridiculous imo.

well.. if ne thing get the injen cai... cuz its the filter is farthest from ne heat.. and its alot cheaper then the k&n fipkII by like 30 bux.. but since u dont rev past 3rpms.. either dont get nething or juss remove your resonator.. ( thats the black box to the right of your filter box)

IMO its the same. because the piping are all made of aluminum or some kind of heat inducing metal. any intake will suck in warm air. Its just a myth IMO, you experience both and then tell me. Ive experience both, and their the same ****. I think its all in your head.
