injen makes one, IMO it doesnt feel as if there is a difference. I took mine off so the filter could be closer to the throttle body

It isnt exactly the same performance, but The difference is very minimal and not noticable to the everyday person.

i dont think the drop in is worth it at all, i dont think the difference in the drop in is as great as a real intake system. Plus i think if you get a drop in you will want a full system later on down the road.

are you planning on building up the KA or are you going to do a sr or rb swap in the future. if you plan on swapping the engine then dont do anything engine related just do suspention work until you do the swap.

originally i was planning on doing an rb20 swap, but then i found a 240 with only 25,000 miles on it. so i think it would be a waste to take the thing out. im probably going to hang onto this thing for a while, im just gonna do some bolt on stuff for a little extra performance..

yeah, get some bolt on's for now, especially with such a low mileage engine. No reason to swap.

I'd say your bolt on's, intake, header, exhaust are good.
I'm actually sell all of those, and for half off what I paid for them less than a year ago. NJ isn't too far away, if you're looking for something let me know.
