There is also a seller on eBay who goes by the name "racesonic" or "tradedex" and he sells cold air intakes. I bought mine from him for about $68 shipped. Works great. Absolutely Red awesome canyon road hugger with impressive straight-line acceleration.

Canada.	i have the blitz short ram for a gts manual. its the blue filter blitz, not the metal mesh. don't know about the u.s., but we here in canada are having a very tough time sourcing just the filters. many stores sell the entire intake system, but the paper filter must be changed once in a while. thus i would suggest if your local shops cannot easily obtain just the blitz filters, go with injen or aem. blitz also makes the metal mesh intakes. reviews have stated that they do not filter as well as the paper ones.

Just have to change the filter about every 5000 miles due to direct crud buildup. I just installed mesh wire. Trust me, change the filter every 5-6,000 miles, or at least clean it. But at ~20, why not change it just to be safe?

Anyway, I heard that AEM has gains in the lower rpm gauge, where autos need it. Other than that, I was kind of wondering myself. I'm thinking of going Injen just because I've heard everybody loves theirs and it's got better gains.
