I have had the K&N Ram air intake, it works great, even if you dont go with it, get the K&N Filter, best in the buisness !

Order your AEM CAI and when you get it, measure the diameter of the piping that was given to you, then go to KandNFilters.com and they will set you up, under the universal section of the website.
