    CAI is one of the best performance upgrades for a low cost, look on ebay if you want a cheap one. ive seen the superchared v6 CAI 2nd hand go for around $30. creating a custom one is a bit tricky. but definitely a good thing to throw on your car.

    there around $75. maybe grab a pod filter if your low on cash but will end up sucking some hot air instead of cold without an enclosure

    Pod filter? Who said pod filter. I didn't hear anything of the sort I hope

    Pod filters are for turbo cannons and rice farts. Get a good CAI and run that with the standard panel filter

    $60 from ebay, or cheaper second hand.

    Thats the only mod that was done to my VS which I just sold. Pic is below. I used to get awesome fuel economy, but that's not just because of the Cold Air Intake, I meticulously serviced it every 5000kms.

    These are cheap and very worthwhile for the small cost $65 + postage;
