DavidM21715 Reg'd: Jun 03, 2008 Window Washer	Engine: CAI (Injen and Fujita are among the favored), Headers, Exhaust (Injen, Skunk2, Borla, etc.) Interior: Racing Seats, Shift knob, Shift Boot, Shorter Shifter, LED Mods to your Gauges and HVAC, Expand on you Audio/Video System Exterior: Projetor Headlights, HID Conversion, Tail-lights, Billet Grill. These are only a few things that can be done just pick something that looks good and go from there. Personally id start with performance and work from there. Im looking at putting a turbo on my car hopefully soon so good luck that one. Hopefully this helped and have fun modding your car!!

spiderwebber87 Reg'd: Nov 12, 2007 Window Washer	Yeah, the e-bay route is probably your best bet. all intakes pretty much do the same thing, it's all just a filter on a stick. and like the other guy said, you can always upgrade your filter. I got mine off e-bay, for 40 bucks and then upgraded my filter to a k&n. if you are really worried about brand names, go get a sticker and slap it on there. HAHA

CadenceScion Reg'd: May 27, 2008 Oil Changer	I highly suggest AEM. I have one on my 06 tC and I love the sound it makes under acceleration. Plus I like the HP and torque gains. As far as I am concerned, cold- air intakes are pretty much the same. All your paying for is the NAME. AEM, Injen, Weapon-R, K&N etc, are using aircraft aluminum pipes and the filters are very simular. Some are cotton based filters. I prefer a filter element that does not require you to spray the filter every yr or so. Plus over spraying your filter can cause mass air flow sensors to get gummed up and cause sensors to get ruined. I have seen a lot of people using Injen, but I have never used one. Injen claims to have the highest HP/torque gains. I have yet to see an actual dyno sheet to prove that. I feel any company will say that they promise so much HP/torque gains to get you to buy their product. All your doing is paying for the name and putting the decal on your car. If I was you, get a full fuctioned cold-air intake, not a short ram. Cold-air intakes offer more HP/torque than a short-ram intake. Also keep in mind aluminum will get warm from the engine heat, vs plastic that does not hold the heat as well. Although aluminum I feel is more free flowing. Good luck w/ your decision. PS. I also wanted to mention if you know of a machine shop that can custom mandrel/bend you a cold-air intake that would be cool too.

SiLeNcE Reg'd: Jul 14, 2008 Tire Changer	^^ i agree. actually that was my first choice until my one of my good friends with a Ms3. advice me that fujita would be good since she has it. but i problably get AEM.

DavidM21715 Reg'd: Jun 03, 2008 Window Washer	Well I ended up buying the Fujita F5 CAI and I must say I absolutly love the sound, and power and torgue I got (granted its only a few whp and torque) but I must say I'm very impressed with it. I back Fujita up 100% but go with what price, name, and style you like (polished or black powder coated).
