An intake won't make a huge difference in HP, but will increase the SC whine, so it's mostly personal preference and budget. The best bang for the buck is doing this mod to your stock intake. It's similar to having a factory JCW intake with the flap removed.

I would use an Amsoil nano-filter inside a modified stock airbox, or you could use a K&N filter as shown in the link. Buying one depends on your budget, but I would look for a used factory JCW, Dinan airbox, or something similar. If I were to buy new, I would probably get the Orranje Stealth CAI which is just a new, pre-made DIY airbox with filter. I just prefer the more factory look over the large metal boxes or open shrouds showing that show the cone filter.

It's really down to personal preference, budget, and sound since all CAI's will be similar in HP gains unless it's a really bad design.

This is old news as we've found the DDM to be the best
