Vararam or Callaway Honker are widely considered the best...both are true cold air intakes. Next, you'll want LT headers and a good tune.

Blackwing with cold box is another popular option for the intake.

Nah. You don't "need" it. I didn't have one, and I hesitated because of the mixed reviews I kept reading here and in the c5 tech forum. I did finally get one of those carbon fiber air bridges, but I wasn't expecting gains. I just got it because it looked cool (to be honest).
