No intake or exhaust on this car is going to give you anything but diffrent sound... Save your cash for a while and get a decent FI solution..

Racing Beat Revi + Air Duct: provides great airflow to the engine with a 'closed box' design and sounds awesome.

If you're looking for a good sounding intake that isn't too loud, this is a GREAT product. If you're looking for a ton of HP, then don't bother with it.

Get a catback for fun but don't bother with an intake. Waste of money IMHO.

When i first got my car I was looking at the Revi intake, but like others said im not going to spend hundreds of dollars for just a diff sound.

Do like i did and go spend 40 bucks and get a K&N drop in filter if you wanna do "something" with the intake.

none of the intakes will make you lose power... except for maybe the first gen k&n. if you are looking for power out of the intake, then you'll be sad. if you are looking for sound out of the intake, racingbeat has a quiet whirring sound, which i like.
