Do a search, as most people on here will say what they have is the best.

I use a popcharger, does the job for me.

If your planning on running a plenum, I suggest the JWT. CAI dont do well with plenums, I have dyno tested this to be very true. For $100 the JWT imo, cant be beat-performance/per dollar wise, but there are nicer "looking" intakes out there, but you will pay over $100 to look better, the choice is yours.

JWT... comparable performance to CAIs and a breeze to clean vs CAIs.

Does the popcharger fit the 05 models and does it effect warranty?

yes it fits the 05 models...

it will only void the warranty on the factory intake becuase it is no longer presant... it will not effect anything else on your car...

if you are worried it will, when you bring the car to the dealer pop back on the stock...

I heard that if you add stickers/decals to your car, you gain about 5-15 hp...is that true?

i've always hered this. adding a CAI and a plenum is bad. why is that? it seems that if a good CAI like the injen 1986sp were to be combined with a crawford plenum you'd get very good results...please explain, this is very interesting.

Just throwing in another vote for the JWT. Makes the car sound mean. I am pleased with it and I picked it up used from someone for 70 bones.

My budget is a bit short. Can I buy the 25 horsepower intake for $400?

K&N Typhoon Intake is the best! But then again, I'm a little biased
