At best you'd probably get around 5-8whp. Intakes are more for sound than really anything else. I simply dropped a K&N filter in mine and walked away, lol.

Non-car guy: "Whoa, that sounds beastly! What'cha running for hp?"
You: "~8hp over stock!"
Non-car guy: "Nooooice!"
cue chest bumping

Ok, I'm joking but it's really just for sound.

May pick an intake up some day but that's low on my to-do list right now. Pricing new isn't cheap (~$400-600) and eBay would only be a smidgen cheaper I'd guess.
