There are plenty of places online where you could get an intake. They do add some horses, but they increase varies by car. They run between 100-300 for a CAI.

I was told that the HP increase isn't worth the price. Like 2-5 HP for the same amount you could buy a K&N air filter and a tornado and get the same results yet pay only $40. for about 200-600 depending on the machinest and what you do yourself you can have a port and polish along with an engine balance done. This should bring you to around 160-180hp. I'll find out the exacts once I change the O2 sensor and the fuel filter because they affected my dyno test.
