Ever heard of ebay?

as previously mentioned, you can search ebay and you'll come up with a few cheap ones, cosmo racing is an example. you could always shell out the cash for an AEM, K&N, or RkSport intake, but basically you'd just be paying for the name

exactly. a $.25 piece of three inch pipe flows just as much air as a $500 piece of three inch pipe.

oh come on... the 500 dollar one is polished inside in out to a chrome shine, so it flows better

Blue may get you five but red gets you 7 and neon green gets you 9...I'm gonna go for teletubby purple...19 hp, but only if you use a turbonator lol

get the cosmo racing one off of ebay.

I have one, pretty decent quality, and under $100 shipped to my door,

Just be careful as the instructions to attach the rubber elbow has it going on the wrong end

other then that, A okay from my experience

screw it.... just remove the intake and rubber band a piece of panti-hose over the throttle body when you go to the track .... I've actually known people that have done that.

You could always go to your local parts stores and ask them what they can order you also...... then just decide what you wan't when you compare price to shinyness..... but performance wise... it doesn't really matter..... an intake is an intake.
