Will not fit the 4 cyl

K&N also makes a typhoon kit part number 69-8609TTK with a nice heat shield but it is expensive so just go with what ever one I bet they all perform the same.

Either way here is the dyno sheet from K&N and the install sheet it would probably help you with what ever kind you install.

I would go with exhaust first because you a larger gain vs intake. If you have your heart set on an intake i would go with weapon - r. Injen just sounds good, no real gain. Weapon - r actually gives u hp gain.

i like my injen, i felt some gain when i hit 3k rpm but i got it used for about half the retail price
also u should look into getting an exhaust even if its only axle back...u gain minimal power, but definately smooths out the power, its not a huge jump at certain rpms

^Guys if it is a 2.75 inch diameter pipe, it probably isn't giving you much of a gain regardless of brand. Just a different way of taking in air. ("Noisemaker")

Just get a good drop in filter and save your money for an exhaust and a header. There is more power to be found on that end IMHO.
Let's just pretend I didn't grow up, or you're going to be terribly disappointed.
