Default Air Intake Systems?

I just started driving my Neon again, wife used to drive it, nos she drives my Sebring. I'm missing the horsepower that the Sebring had! Can someone tell me what a good air intake system is and prices, stores? Will it even help that much? I put in a K&N air filter a couple of years ago, it seemed to help a little, or I was just imagining it did to try to convince myself that it was worth it.\

Thanks

The only problem with the Typhoon is that the beelows tube doesn't ger replaced as well. For $20-30 more you get that with the Iceman.

I've got a Pipercross Viper Induction cone. Its meant for the PT Cruiser but fits in well enough. I've had a carbon copy of my stock airbox made and sourced the filter inside, running ducting from the bottom of the bumper. Had it tested and shows improvement of around 9HP at the wheels. Doesn't sound any different unless your pushing on a bit where you'll get a good roar. I paid £200 but am sure its a straight conversion in the states, $200.

Sorry, will try and get a picture up to describe the setup a bit better. http://www.pipercross.net/viper_product.asp shows the induction kit itself.

i bought my AEM cai from ebay brand new and it only cost me 185 total with shipping, it sounds good, it says it can add up to 8hp, check out ebay for some good deals, watch out for sellers that will charge you ridiculous shipping tho
