Save your money, and upgrade to ingens or stillen g3 Cai? unless you're not into hitting the high rmps? Then the stock boxes will do with upgraded k&n filters

the k&n filters and hps post maf tubes are a great, inexpensive combo, i love mine, really smooths out the rpm range and makes good gains for the $$.
