What intake should i buy for 98 civic???

[98CivicDXMT21]

I just bought a 98 civic dx and was looking to do some simple mods, thinking of an intake first. I think i want to go with ram air after reading all the cons of locating the filter beneath the car. It seems like the performance enhancement is negligable from an intake, so really i just want a little noise . If there is a cheap or other way to go about it i'd love to know. Also it would hopefully be a semi-simple mod because i dont have much experience. Money is tight (cant afford $100+ for AEM etc.) so if anyone has any suggestions???? Thanks!

You can get a generic ram air and you'll get pretty much the same results as paying for an AEM. Intake is pretty much the only mod where you can be a cheapskate. Don't buy something that looks like a total pos but you can get ebay brand intake and be fine. As you stated, there are minimal to no power gains with cai, even less with ram air, but you'll sound a lil meaner on the street.
