Oh.. My.. Goodness. I installed the Alta intake that I got from OutMotoring to my stock MCS.. And I can't believe it's added so much more PEP to my car! It's like a totally different beast. If feels so much more aspirated than with the stock intake. Man.. IT'S AWESOME!

If you have yet to add an intake to your car, it's totally worth the 200 bucks or whatever you would spend on it! I'm off to go explore some bckroads!

It's also my first mechanical job on a car, but it was pretty straightforward to put in! Man.. Can't wait to install a pulley eventually!

Gotta love that supercharger whine with the new intake. Once you get the pulley you'll wonder why you waited so long... Good luck.

In addition to a good intake I found that a good aftermarket exhaust helped even more. If you don't want to spend that much you can try the stock exhaust modification that cuts off the resonator and leaves the muffler using a bypass elbow.

Glad you like your intake. I have the madness intake and I didn't really notice much benefit until I added an exhaust then it really did much better.
