Stock airbox is better than those crap intakes.

If you are trying to save money, get used one off member.
Injen cai or Aem cai.

Intakes won't do much anyways, pretty much pointless.

Hi Caucasion.asian I installed the polished one last night, I disconnected the battery, very good idea, nad put it in, unfortunaetly I ran into two problems, the kit was missing one clamp for rubber to aluminum connecter, and there is a little breather hose that goes from the valve cover to the intake, that is very bad quality. it crushes too easily, that could be bad, becuse that is used to blow out excess pressure from the engine. other than that perfect fit, nic finish, and the filer is way down under the batter, pretty cool. I'll send pictures later.

10 MM Socket, I had a deepwell
At least 10" extension for your rachet, some of the airbox bolts are way down there
