You can run either DC2R Injen or EM1/EK4 Injen CAI
Both direct bolt on for EG with b18c type R motor
* for EG breeze you need to cut a hole to run EM1/EK4 Injen CAI*

It's just pipe to me. Make your own by getting a short ram and extending it into the bumper - then get a 3A Racing pod filter for like $26 and you're set :)

This is what I have after buying an APC short ram intake for $70 and extending it into my bumper for another $105.

as what JDM yard said, either ek4 one or dc2r will go well with it,

but it really after to up which one you wanna run,

ek4 one pipe is 2 3/4 and dc2r one is 3 inch,

both are good,

Unless you really want a big-name-brand then I'd discourage you from buying them. If you just want performance then DIY man, you'll save lots of money (I saved $300 on CAI) and get basically the same gains

I also saved $300 on a CAI. I got a second hand Injen one from another member!

Its a good intake which is very well designed, but i wouldnt wanna pay the full $500 for it.

All depends on how much $ you've got to splash around.

Install a short ram intake by removing stock intake and plugging it straight onto throttle body.
Jack the car up on the front driver side.
Remove wheel on aforementioned corner.
Undo clips holding in the wheel well guard.
Remove 3 bolts connecting resonator.
Wiggle out resonator (most annoying part IMO).
Get a 45 degree silicone bend to connect to the short ram intake with 1x heavy duty hose clamp.
Get a 45 degree aluminium bend to connect to the silicone bend with 1x heavy duty host clamp.
Adjust angle of pipes as required so that you can fit a pod filter to the end of the aluminium bend, down in the bumper just behind/below the headlight.
Secure pod with hose clamp.
Ensure that you secure pipes with a flat/long piece of aluminium with a hole in it (bolts onto chassis where previous air box was, then bend to fit under the hose clamp on silicone bend).
Put wheel well guard back on.
Put wheel back on.
De-jack ya car.
Enjoy.

you just get flexi hose and aim one side to your pod and aim otherside to oncoming air when car is in motion. then fasten down both sides.

also remove stock reso, as he said resonator quite a bastard to remove

The problem with this setup is that unless you have a 100% air-tight heat shield then you'll still get heat-soak when you're taking off from a stationary point because you can't guarantee that the pod will source it's immediate air from the flex-pipe without forward motion.

That's why I suggest re-locating the pod filter down into the bumper and using duct tape to seal off any holes in the chassis that link the pod to the engine bay (as well as seal around the pipe where it enters the bumper) to ensure that it only breathes air from under the headlight/around the bottom of the bumper.
