K&N intake is good.. You don't have to mess with the ECU and its a proven 9hp gain.. Check out there website..

NOOOOOO!

lol. The factory setup is very good. People who buy random intakes usally end up loseing power and paying more for random damages. Save your money for a SRT. You can also modify the IS K&N intake setup to work but doing that your better off just doing their drop in filter.

Agreed. It may be more noise than it's worth, IMO.

Also, FWIW, I believe this belongs in the "Performance" sub forum. You can also search there and get a lot of info on this topic.

I'm in the same boat for looking for an intake. I think the SRT intake probably be the best route, even though its expensive.

I was in the same boat when I was looking for one. Compared to what is out there and the horror stories that some have had, the SRT is your best choice. The intake is not that loud in my opinion. Sounds pretty good with my exhaust (axle-back). If you get an intake, get the heatshield from Figs as well.
