Or you could put in a K&N drop-in filter (high flow OEM replacement) and take out the resonator below the air box. That way you have the performance of a short ram and maintain a stock look.

It involves removing the bumper cover and removing a few bolts.

The instruction are within this DIY for an intake installation:

And you'll need this to remove the bumper:
