This kind of non-specific question is what causes a shit storm of misinformation.

Don't take my word for it, though:

This. If you want to get your moneys worth, buy a TRUE CAI. Vigilant, FA20Club, Perrin, all make them and they are worthwhile. A SRI is not worth the money, IMO, unless you're going to get an ECU tune to go with it. All things considered with the stock ecu tune, True CAI > Stock + Drop-In filter > SRI

Expect 4-5whp gain, more induction noise, better throttle response with any true CAI on the stock ecu tune.
