If you can afford it, go with the m2 air intake box. http://www.m2performance.com
If you are looking for something a little cheaper but good quality, go with the APEXi at http:///apsupinrx793.html
Both good deals, any intake is better than the stock one, you'll notice a good performance boost.
After you look into an intake look for a downpipe as your next mod, helps out a LOT. Also look for a newer ECU down the line, then you can start gaining some real power.

I would advise you to get a downpipe as your first mod and not an intake. Then, get a boost gauge and water temp gauge (or linearize stock one).
As far as intakes go, the Apexi intake will prevent you from upgrading to a larger SMIC in the future. I also don't believe in the hot air intakes, but that's a highly debated topic. Whatever you do, do not get a foam filter system. I don't have personal experience but several long term members have used them and have found them to be crap. They don't filter well and tend to send little pieces of foam into the intake as they degrade.

I have the M2 and like it. They now make it in carbon fiber, looks sweet. I like the idea of keeping as much of the engine bay heat out of the intake as possible. Then if you decide to upgrade your intercooler, the M2 medium SMIC mates nicely to their intake.
