No intake will give you any noticeable performance gains. But it's a start...
K&N RU-3530 filter + MAF adaptor + Custom heatshield.

it's also quite affordable, I would team this with an exhaust mod if you can afford that this holiday season, all the buying info for the filter, adaptor and gasket + heatshield are on the FAQ 
it lists the prices and what you should expect to pay for the new parts.

hella yea!!
for mine I put on a bypass valve so that all the water that does get sucked up, will be taken care of by the bypass valve. Also I put in a K&N filter instead of the cheapo Bomz they provide..

naw my fog lights block it out (I didnt have it on at the time), but the filter inside is really well covered thanks to the splash guard underneath..

I was looking at getting this intake as well but one concern.I dont have my splash gaurd anymore.Came of going down a bumpy road one day.Would you still reccomend installing this intake?

Well i have it but it was draged down the road and i can not install it again..I might be able to if i custom it a bit.But just really wanted to know if without a splash gaurd and if i install the bypass valve would you still run that intake setup.

How much is a new splash guard? Might be worth the investment to just get a new one.

I actually ordereed one of those Intakes from Custom cougars (pro-motion tuning) back in Nov. and so far I have yet to receive it. I keep calling and calling, finally after three months they finally have all the parts for the intake. (apparently the plastic couplings were on back order). I think that it will def'y be better than the heat soaked setup I have now. If you are going to order from them, now might be a good time because they have all the parts.

Also, just a little FYI, see that key on the left side of the keyboard labeled "Caps Lock", you might want to try pushing it until the light on the keyboard goes off, K?
