Good Cold Air Intake?

I got a hold of some cash want to spend it on a new intake. I want an intake that wont cause any CEL errors. Any ideas?

Looks like you have a 2.4. This is the 2.0L section.
Anyway, I've heard great things about Injens for the 2.4s. I have one on my ss/sc and love it as well.

Intakes = Waste... just mod the stock one. I wish I'd done that, but I was young and dumb... and wasted my money.

3" intake is going to have better potential IMO, otherwise there isn't a great deal of flow difference. Plus with a 3" intake may also trick the MAF to run the car a little leaner which may help pull out some hp for stage 2 folks. Anyways, i have a Rebel intake on order and i'm waiting to test it out.

Otherwise, my airbox mod was pretty much just as helpful as the ebay intake that i bought besides some extra S/C whine.

not if it has a $20 filter :P



you guys need to remember, that while modifying your intake is 95% as good as buying one.....
its the FILTER that gives you all your gain.....buy a GOOD filter, K&N, AEM etc etc

If you want a 3"... I'd suggest either the Rebel (which looks good IMO) or the Fujita. BOTH require a good amount of install time to get the fitment right... but they are SOOOO worth it.
