I have never heard of a "stage 2" intake. IMO, an ebay intake will be fine. That's unless you want name brand everything, then look into an AEM or something like that.

4-2-1 is better for mid range powerband gains, 4-1 is better for top end. I prefer 4-2-1

^ that's what i'd do since you have a four banger, which is lacking in low end

And I wouldn't do anything you can't swap to another car. I thnk i'm a good driver too, but i've been in 4 wrecks, and totaled one car....

To be fair, i've avoided (quite literally) hundreds of accidents, but unfortunately that's like Jet Li beating up 50 guys only to be shot by someone far away
