The K&N FIPK is probably the most popular intake for this car. Nice and cheap, sounds great, no hydrolock, easy install and gains a few hp.

fipk will make more noise, more power, but some people say it does heatsoak a little. Once you're moving, the FIPK is better (opinion). Drive with the intake cover off for a day/night - thats almost exactly what the FIPK is except a little more power and less heatsoak

You'll be happy with it! I ran that intake for a couple years when I was NA. Loved it!

if you are a freeway driver you will love the sound. it sounds like fergie and jesus and sex combine. it sounds like if fergie has sex with j... wait that might be bad. ok it just sounds really nice. the only reason i got rid of it was the heat soak. but if your moving and remove the black piece in front of the radiator you will be fine.
