Aem is better :imo: You should be able to find one for $250 or less.

Don't go with anything that just sits under the hood. A guy I knows has some old intakes not made anymore. he picked up 15hp from it. No tuning. He works with Patrick G and they own a shop together in TX.. They know there shit. I can get you info to order one if you want.

Do it your self...

www.airflo.com

$130 total
4in diameter Pipe
If you do it this way the only draw back is you have to cut or remove your fan shroud if you have a mechanical fan... but im extremely happy with mine.

I got a Spectre of eBay for $75 shipped and it works excellent, I notice the performance gain and the intake "growl" sounds so nice over 3k RPM. Save your cash and get the Spectre :IMO
