Run a search on intakes and you're bound to find a how-to. Hurry up before everyone flames you for not using the search button!

get the air intake first, the very basic mod~~~air intake was the first mod in my car and if you find the good intake, it would not just give you some more hp and the sounds going to be great, having fun to find your parts!!!(by the way, injen SRI is very nice and it's what i have in the car!!! just some friendly advise)

Yes, but you can always switch the stock parts back, if it even becomes an issue.

or if your worried about voiding warrenty just call your dealer and see what aftermarket parts they offer mine dealer offers a cold air intake and an exuast which aslong as you order it through them and let them install it you won't void the warrenty with that
