Air intake, or and breathing mod, for a naturally aspirated KA with give you very little bang for you buck. Save up for suspension and sticky rubber if you really want to effect the way your car performs without major engine modification.

Just put a universal 3" K&N cone air filter on your MAF (W/ an adapter plate as well). That is what I have on my CA and it works well.

Dont buy overpriced Injen or HKS full intakes, that heat up. just buy a filter and adapter, thats the best bang for your buck

I agree with everyone else, spending 200 on a metal pipe and filter when you plan on swapping the engine out or even going ka-t for that matter seems kinda worthless. A $20 cone filter from autozone and a razor blade to the rubber portion of it to get it to fit over the rectangular portion of the maf did the trick for me.
