Get an ebay tube, then put a quality brand name filter on the end. The tube is just a tube, but it's the filter that matters.

You could probably find the filter on eBay too. Also, don't expect a 10-15 hp gain from a cold air intake alone.

If you want it to sound better then just take off the exhaust. Running straight header gives it a more aggresive sound

^ I hope you're joking...that will sound like ****.

Chanchai704, look at the FAQ under the Intake, Header, and Exhaust section. It will definitley answer some of your questions...
