There are alot of opinions about this....

Try a search for "CAI" and you should get alot of info to digest. There is at least one thread with a good summary of options.

FWIW... I have a CAlloway Honker

Lots of them out there, like said above try the search feature.

Arguably the 2 best are the Vararam (best performance, fit & finish could be better) and the Honker (OEM quality, well enginered, but will rub the hoodliner some near the front of the bellows section).

Biggest return for the buck and easiest to install is prbly the Blackwing.

Just my opinion, others may feel differently. Good luck.
