Congrats and welcome, man.

K&N Drops-Ins + Z1 Post-MAF tubes (http://z1motorsports.com) are common and will provide similar gains to an aftermarket intake and are much more inexpensive. However, depending on how much sound change you want, an intake might not do it for you. Intake will sound different the more the throttle is open. An exhaust will give you an entirely different note across the board.

I've got some K&N's with just about 1K miles of use on them before I purchased R2C intake (PM me if you are interested). I love the sound of the new intake (everything else still stock incl exhaust), but you really only hear it at 4K RPM and up. It's very subtle around 3K RPM, and sounds virtually stock if you don't get on it.
