it all depends on how much it is and which engine you have. i got one for my 1.6. it was only like $40 USD. it was from an acura integra gsr. you can also make one from plastic PVC plastic tubeing

is it CAI or a WAI ppl get them confused and think they are the same. but either way if its cheap enough it is worth it, you will gain a few HP and it is a lot less restrictive then the OEM intake.

a real cold air intake or even a cone/pod filter with a cold air feed will work great.

i wouldnt recommend big name branded products as far as intake systems go cos all you're really paying for is the brand.

you can expect the same result (if not better) with custom made stuff bought in pieces off ebay.

The gsr intake is a really good idea. Just dont go too big on your intake pipe or it will be overkill
