Just do a custom one, my buddy just gave me his old one and the sound when i'm in mid rpm's is great. He heard me coming down at the end of his street which is a pretty good distance away. There won't be much hp gains, probably none at all, and if there are they'll be too minute to notice.

just get a k&n
1. its like 60 bucks
2. nice sound (nothing too loud but u do notice it) and u can hear ur dv workin...
3. pretty good mpg increase...
make sure u make urself some kind of heat shield... i made mine from aluminum and heat insulant and i also ran a duct from the front of the car (by the horn... there is a hole in the bumper...) and ran it to the k&n cone. works great with the heatshield...when opening the hood after hard driving my intake is cold which is always good only downside is that it makes my intake really dirty really quickly which means that i have to clean it more often and watch how much k&n oil i apply after cleaning because it could mess up the maf...play around and be creative.

Custom is best for the price. Make sure you have a heatshield tho because without them you for sure wont see any gains (prolly the other way around from heatsoak).

ya ziptie that shi*t, dont spend 60 bucks on a k&n, thats too expensive. Just make your own, it's cheaper and more fun that way.
