stock cam and bolt on's. the stock air box is fine. change cam, and you will end up with a flow issue.

change the box out for an open element filter and watch the air flow numbers increase and power go up.

There is a dyno comparison thread of intakes that Justin (blackbear tuning) did and the best 2 were the airaid jr and volant, both gaining like 8 hp.

Seems the inexpensive Airaid MIT stacks up pretty well on otherwise stock applications.

right now a stock box with a drop in filter, and an mit. i haven't gotten around to changing things out yet. or just find another 10+ stock air box and modify it

the maf is bolted to the stock air box. if you change the air box out, the company that makes the intake system has it bolted down to the same spot. you can run whatever tube you want actually. if you really wanted too, you can move the mas air to the throttle body
