sheesh.. now i can't choose from Short or Cold.... this car business is hard

but one thing, so the cold intake can be safe as long as i get the bypass valve? ahhhh i'm so confused here... what would you recommend to me sleeper? the short or cold?

Get an AEM or INJEN cold air intake

anyone seconds that idea of getting CAI? instead of SRI?

honestly, I wouldn't worry about a bypass valve. Just don't forge any puddles.

And I personally like the AEM V2 which was kind of like a CAI and a SRI all in one.

do you know where i can get that for a fairly good price? i'm on a very tight budget >_< i mean very tight hah~

Most hi-quality CAIs go for around 200-300...depending on the brand. AEM is a bit cheaper.

cool.. thx alot everyone. Info was helpful~

ahh one more thing... any suggestions on where to buy it? If you have a good site or so? that would be awesome.

i like the cold air intakes better then short ram. the short ram will get u there air qwuicker but its hotter air. the cold air intake will get it air just not as fast. ya the bypass valves usually dont even fit. my bypass valve didnt fit so i left it off and it works great

So i should get the AEM V2? Besides price, would would be the big difference from CAI from V2? Also, which would provide more Horsepower? I just want me car to be better - o -;;

V2 is AEM's CAI. Very popular and very good. I recommend buying it online because it is a little cheaper. Do a little browsing and as a last resort, bid on Ebay.

Generally a CAI gives a bit more HP (around 5-7 HP) and better performance overall.

Is all of them in AEM brands V2? they don't say and i just wanted to make sure before i purchase it...

OHHHHH the last one is the v2 series... i got it :-D i think..

I think you've already decided, but if you don't want to spend a whole lot then an SRI wouldn't be bad. AEM makes a really good one which comes with the dryflow filter for around 100, or you could even do an ebay SRI for 30bucks.

As advised early, the AEM V2 is pretty much the best CAI out there.

then V2 it is~ now the next step it to save some money up~
Thx again everybody for the help~

Good choice. The V2 sounds killer at WOT.

haha new to car upgrades..... WOT?

:) wide open...............absolutely gaping throttle

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH~~!!!!! haha that would be nice haha

so to increase my speed this is my plan. 1. intake 2. Header 3. Spark Plug 4. Exhaust is there anything else that i can get that will help? besides new engine and turbo of course that cost a tad too much for my bank. Also on top of getting those 4 items must i change anything else? My car is stock and wondered if i need to replace anything to make it stronger for those 4 items. Don't want my car to break down on me while i drive >_<

Get a strut bar. Holds engine tighter. DC Sports is probably one of the best manufacturers.

These mods are like bolt on, so the stock should be able to handle it. As long as you don't plan to lower your car, it should be fine.

ahhh dang... i did plan to lower my car... The body is like 4 fingers above my tires... wanted like 2 fingers above my tires... dang is that a problem?

No...two fingers is about 2", the stock shocks should be able to handle it. Get a coilover kit.
