If I were you, I would wait for Perrin to release their Super duper extreme CAI that the stock ECU cannot handle but a tune can.

What are your goals for this car?

Can't go wrong with AEM i've been using them for the last 10 years in all my vehicles and i couldn't be happier with the results. Plus i believe the AEM box is 50 state carb legal.

Stay stock. It is well designed for stock flow levels. After market intakes don't make much more power.

If you want sound... then I have heard the perrin cai sounds good.

I'm running the AEM intake and have enjoyed it. It adds some power up top and makes the car a little more responsive. It really brings the car to life and maintains the OEM quality and look/feel.

Here is my post from my build thread:
