Any idea what you want to look for? SRI (Short Ram Intake) or CAI (Cold Air Intake), and some CAI's can be converted to a SRI. Oiled filter element or a dry Amsoil type element?

Goal? Looking for better mpg? Better hp/tq?

Price range?

There are two available. Injen and takeda. Descendant is coming out with a cai soon and weapon-r is a little pricey. Stick to dry flow filters as oiled filters require an excessive amount of maintenance and you won't gain more from having it. All intakes available so far use a dry flow filter. Wait for descendant's though.

^not sure about fujita... sorry i think i mixed up takeda and fujita... lolz

@scratch-goal? both? is that possible? heheehehe well i think more on hp/torque gain..
yeah i'm looking for an dry filter. i think doesnt matter for me right now if it's SRI or CAI. as long as it gives what i want from an intake and helps my car run better...

@papa-yeah im waiting for your contrast/compare of injen intake and descendant's... im looking forward for the descendant's though.

i know nothing about the brands/companies who make intakes for our car... like their reputation, who makes better intake. etc.. so yeah...

thanks again for you help. really appreciate it.
