Perrin silicone tube and either Perrin or WORKS air filter if you want something very simple to install
FA20Club.com or Perrin cold air intake if you don't mind removing the stock airbox and pulling the top of the front bumper up. These are the safest routes to go without messing with the MAF in my opinion, i wouldn't get the AirRaid or Injen. the Greddy/AFE intake is pretty good too but the stock design is great so i don't think changing airboxes is worthwhile. |

Money better spent on a tune, then. A true CAI like the one offered by Vigilant Motorsports will only net you about 4-5whp max gain without a tune.
If you want great sound, significantly lower intake temps, better throttle response, and a roomy engine bay then any of the available CAI's will do the trick

On a dyno with the hood open maybe. When out driving the true CAI will have significantly lower intake temps, and more power as a result. The Injen and other short ram intakes suck in hot air that rises up from the headers and radiator and collects in the engine bay with the hood closed. Ask me how I know. I used to have an Airaid intake, and there's a noticeable power difference between it and my CAI.
