Hey you can try a Cone K&N air filter, I also use their oil filters too so.

Just make sure you watch your warranty

What do you mean watch the warranty? Just by switching the air filter to a cone filter or by using a k&n oil filter voids no warranty on what is left in the car they might refuse warranty work on the air box you took out but so what. Their is a law called the Magnus Moss act this states that no manufacture can void a warranty when another part is used unless that company provides that part for free but they could void the warranty on the part you took off i.e. if you changed your exhaust your factory one you took off would not be covered (unless you were sneaky).

How much HP are you looking for and how much do you want to spend?

Nitrous Oxide 50-75 HP for $700 to $1200 installed.
Cold Air Intake 3 WHP for $200
Bored Throttle body and Intake Manafold 3 WHP for $350
Turbo, 300+ WHP for $3000 minimum
Supercharger 200 HP for $2500
Cams 5-15 WHP for $299 to $599 + install

Need more options?

WHP is Wheel Horsepower. It is the figure you would get off a dyno.

300 WHP is possible with the right turbo setup, but plan on spending AT LEAST $3000

sup Random, there's one number I'd have to disagree with you though:

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Cold Air Intake 3 WHP for $200</div>

Reason is because as you know, they have been dynoed, and one showed around 2.5whp, and the other showed 3whp, but remember that was on a stand still dyno, this does not take into account all the cold air picked up when the car is in motion collecting colder air which is what the CAI's are designed for... many CAI's are estimated at closer to 8-10whp, of course these are calculations, but I would have to believe them since that's the true purposes of CAI's...

and it's $200+...

am I wrong in believing this?
