I say NONE.
CAI may make the engine sound nicer but performance wise, you wont be able to notice any improvement

Just get a JWT pop charger. Sounds nice, and is reasonably priced

If you're dead set on a CAI, I've always found AEM to make my favorite stuff. Sounds good, decent HP gains for what it is, looks nice and seems to be made pretty well as I've never had issues with them in the past. Plus, their prices are pretty comparable.

If its pre 2007, stick with the stock piece w/ a KN drop in filter.. The KN intake is also very good. 3'' piping without a flex section

ive been doing extensive research about this subject and it seems 99.9% of people who put in any intake system do not notice any difference. i think if you want noticeable difference you will need to do some extensive modding to the engine. at minimum you would need intake, pulley, spacers and an exhaust system. if you have the money i think a turbo or supercharger is the way to go.

This is what I understand also. That includes the DE & the HR. Someone clarify if they know different - (dynos please).

Every time I see your name, I look at it backwards. It makes as little sense to me both ways.
In other words, I have nothing to add to this thread.
