From what i've heard (not own experience)
All intakes are similar and instead of spending $200 on a 'intake system' your better off getting a K&N or ebay intake for $40

Order an ebay intake, throw away the filter and buy a k&n filter to replace it. At most it's about $80.

yeah, itll only suck in a certain volume at a certain rate. might help throttle response with longer intervals between cleaning/changing the filters but thats about it.

the twin filter things are made to imitate aftermarket twin turbo cars. it looks stupid and they are cheaply made. i would reccomend getting a maf adaptor and high quality washabel cone filter. i decided to go this route bc i can reuse the filter and maf adaptor when i go turbo this summer. http://img509.imageshack.us/my.php?i...36300092vx.jpg
colors kill me though

the wire right before the filter is some sort of obd2 02 sensor and you have an s13 so you won't have this. the black box near the ps is the mass aifflow sensor with the brown pigtail coming out of it
