Default Cold air intake

I am new to the Honda S2000. I was looking at installing a cold air intake and headers. I was hoping that someone on this forum can help me with the dest Cold air intake and headers.
Where is the best place to buy as well as the best type of intake and headers to use. Thank you

Most cold air intakes are actually hot air intakes. An exposed or even minimally isolated filter underhood, behind radiator, is going to be sucking hot air.

Consider a looks and sound mod, not a performance mod. The stock intake actually works quite well, and can be modified for more sound without compromising performance.

They both really don’t do anything expect look and sound cool. IMO best intake for the money is the aem v2. Super loud on vtec crossover. Good quality headers are skunk 2. Don’t spend 1k plus on these bolts on.

A small increase in horsepower from a so-called cold air intake is well documented in Youtube dyno tests (e.g.: Mighty Car Mods) but the power increase will not turn car into some sort of quarter mile beast. They sound more powerful and that makes them more fun to drive. These are the typical first "mod" to these cars and before the owner knows much about them and how little power they produce -- sure was for me.
