If you want to change the intake then just get a couple K/N aircleaners.

But your better off to just keep the stock paper filters and replace them at least once a year.

Once an airfilter is dirty you can never get it really as clean as a new one, due to the fact that your dealing with a used dirty air filter that you rinse out in some solvent , blow out with compressed air and then oil it again.

Its like reusing injection needles or your old lady reusing her tampoons.

Its better off to stick with a brand new quality paper filter, cheaper and you know its clean.
CAI's have already been proven superior over drop in filters and post MAF tubes. The stock setup is awesome, but there is a distinct flat spot after 6500 rpm. paper filters are superior when measuring restriction, debatable in cleaning air. Especially R2C intakes.
Exhausts come stock on cars, they generally suck, so we replace them. Likewise the intakes...
