Don't waste your money on a CAI. By itself it is not worth it. You're not going to get much for $250 though. You could get a set of drag bags ($90) and zero drop rear drag springs (approx. $150-$170) because the stock suspension needs help big time. If you decide you want a CAI save your money and also get a set of headers (preferably long tubes), a catback system and a tune. Those mods will net you around 30-40 rwhp. And it doesn't matter which CAI you get because they all will give you about the same gains.

Congrats on your new ride.
