I am looking into getting a cold air intake and i would like to know what company makes the best one.. money isnt really an issue since they all cost around the same amount of money. Could you guys please help me?

AEM definately. They offer a great product and I have it in my 2001. You can tell the difference as soon as you turn the car on

I went with the $30 one from ebay. I can totally tell the difference. My friend has the AEM one and I cant tell the difference between the two. Basically it's just 2 pipes and a filter man so in my opinion, how different can each one be. That's just my opinion guys so don't bite my head off. I placed pictures of mine in my profile. Take a look.

I had also read somewhere that you had to cut the hole bigger for the AEM one. The one I got from ebay fit through the hole that was already there. I didn't have to cut my car at all.

I have the AEM. It is a 3" pipe going through the hole. I cut about 1/4 to 1/2 inch off one side of the hole to let the pip fit through. Was the ebay pipe 3" or maybe only 2 1/2" 2 3/4" ? With out the bigger hole the pipe would bump, rub and rattle against the car.
BTW without a doubt it was the best mod I have done on my car, even at $200.00. Made a big difference in HP and when you give it the gun, The roar is fantastic. 8D

Have fun!!

AEM has the best dyno proven results.
Ingen would be a second choice.

Not sure about the size of the ebay one. It was a snug fit in the hole I haven't heard any rattling noises. Your right though, that's the best mod yet. When you gun it, it gets really deep sounding. I love it. The only issue is now you use more gas. That's to be expected though.

I installed the Injen Short Ram instead of the full intake and the increased HP is a Blast! We have too much flooding where I am to use a full cold air intake all the time

Yeah, I haved the AEM cold airintake for about 3 years now! It has a awsome sound and gives you big performances gains that you can feel!
