stay far away from afe so called "cold air intake" its more like hot air intake. Do exactly what trinity says, RPI scoop and BMC drop in air filter and you'll be set. The pther way you will lose alot of power.

We have proved that AFE does in deed lose power. It may sounds good, but the you will lose HP.

if you perform a search regarding afe intakes you will find countless pages on the performance loss. i would stick with a reputable company that has proven gains, like the RPi intakes and scoops. Good luck and i hope this helped.
