A short ram intake is pretty much like stock w/ an aftermarket K&N which you can get for ~$50

A CAI is next in line, but again not that great as a CP-E, I dont think anyone has regretted shelling out the money for a cp-e...

15hp :popcorn: yummmmm

Although I dont have the cp-e, i do have a K&N and if I ever did any more 'upgrading' to the intake I would go for a CP-E and nothing in between...

seems like CP-E is the favorite and most people like it. Based on people's experiences, I'd shell out the dough for it. Seems like it'd be worth it.
