There's an older thread discussing intakes. The result was to get the airaid mit and a drop in filter. Cost around $150 total and best performance since it uses the stock air box for cool air.

Found the thread

There's been much discussion on this as well as dyno results for all the major brands. From all I read there was only a few hp to gain and not much difference between them. I opted to go with a Spectre since it looks nice and is inexpensive. I just hated that huge plastic stock intake.

I went with spectre from autozone. I did it right when weather started getting warmer. My mpg did go up but it couldve been for other reasons. I just like the sound lol

Blackbear did a dyno comparison, and best was airraid jr (mit with high flow filter) for about 9hp. The stock air box pulls cooler outside engine bay air so no need to change it. You will hear increased sound at WOT, but no drone at hwy speeds like an exhaust will get you. I felt a slight improvement in throttle response as well. I just did the MIT with Z71 filter since I prefer changing out filter vs cleaning one (dont know how you clean an oiless filter)...
