Avoid ebay. Go to RRM and get a good one.

Don't get the crap on ebay, go with either hks or injen. I have an injen so i'm partial to that, sounds and works great once you get your RPM's up

Hey I'm from St. Pete too.

Don't buy that eBay crap. Go with AEM cold air, but if you're worried about water (hasn't been much of a problem for most people) go with the RRM short ram.

It depends on the type of intake you want. The RRM intake is a short ram model. It will net minimal gain, but sound very nice and will protect you well from water ingestion.

A cold air, like the AEM or Injen models will provide better horsepower gains, but you risk water ingestion, and the install is more difficult.

I went with the RRM way back when, before it came with a heat shield. I recommend it.

I got a vibrant adapter from the autopart store. 4.5" opening, works great, you just have to make a bracket to hold your MAS in place. Mine is aluminum. I saw a plastic one with a 3" opening, but I figured the bigger the better

I've got the Injen cold air on my OZ. It's been on on there for well over a year and I havn't had any problems with it. It also had a noticable power increase, not to mention it sounds cool.
