I wouldn't buy it, because intakes don't add much if any performance to the car. All you are getting is a big can of noise. I consider intakes to be rice mods. I have an intake on my car and if i had to do it over, i wouldn't take it if it was free. I'm getting rid of it ASAP.

Your car though, so do what makes you happy.

Intakes can be very beneficial but yo have to tune the fuel curve to get the most out of them. In fact I experienced detonation on my car with just an intake. It can be dangerous for your motor.

I've got the GS400 RMM intkae and it made a slight difference for me, but probably not worth the $295 I paid for it...
