    Just get a afe pro dry drop in and be done with it. I did a bunch of research when i had my 2.7 and it just wasn't worth it to put a whole intake in unless you just want "the look"

    I haven't stayed updated on the CAI set ups but in terms a so called "cold air intake" setup is just a tube and cone filter that has to go through California's rigorous horseshit rules and doesn't prove much better other than being able to hear the noise coming from the filter (btw, you're paying mostly for their regulation approval). A true cold air intake routes your intake to the lowest part of your vehicle to "intake" the cold air since cold air sits lower than hot.

    So buy a good dry flow filter, cut a hole in your plastic box and cap off those excess tubes from your in take pipe.
