New Intake Project

After some time thinking, I've decided to start a new project for my car. I want to get an intake for my C32 but I have no real idea on which intakes I should be looking into. I'd like some recommendations on what sites, types and price ranges I should be expecting for this next project. Thanks in advance for your input.

I don't mean to sound rude but- have a search mate; there are heaps of info on this forum covered from years back. dual (needswings) and 55 intake are the main.

Few options, either a custom pieced together solution, a Needswings intake that runs around $800, or like I did, an SL55 intake. I added the SL55 intake piping and larger air filter housings with K&N filters. I think total I have about $400 into it. It is a nice increase from stock, and still looks oem, which is important me.

I haven't done it yet, but will be doing a minor trimming on the front engine cover to keep it intact as well. Here's a pic with it off...

Thanks for the heads up @madspeed!

Yeah not really forward to spending 800 on needswings intake, but i will if anything. Just paid for my next sem in college. You got my attention with the sl55 intake. Performance wise, whats the bump?
