Much better post, so... Welcome!!
Definitely get a normal CAI, and eBay knockoff is just as good as an AEM imo, and 1/10th of the price...
^^^ Spiffy was the prototype for AEM?????

not exactly, just ones that are moldeled directly after the AEM. they have to look the same. one like this:

the filter on the genuine aems is prolly a little bit better, but the difference wont be noticeable.

this is from the horsepower thread "Now I know you maybe saying, WTF, that's AEM's Dyno. Well guess what?! All your AEM intakes were designed off my car!!!! hahaha It's my dyno!!!! lmao.gif"
But i knew he was the prototype before that...

Close, but go for one that looks more like the AEM like tibby01 pointed out. Most will work, but be sure it's a CAI (cold air intake) overagainst the WAI (warm air intake) (basically CAI is longer than the other). Do what you can to find an AEM clone... Also, make sure it has a decent filter on it.
