Put the Fujita CAI on two of my three ION's with the 2.4L. They were good for 2 tenths in the 1/4 mile on both cars. Worth it to me.

 

depending on where you live you might actually want to just go with a short ram intake. Because if its an area where you get alot of rain, then youll be worrying about flooding the engine with the filter picking up water.

As far as better gas mileage goes i suppose it would if you had a dirty filter or something, but by just straight replacement, no you not gonna get better mileage

 

Alright thanks guys i just got the car so i thought i would just start off with putting some small stuff on it.... Any other suggestions?

 

The IONs airbox is in the fenderwell just as a CAI will be if you buy one.

Myself this would be my first to do list

CAI
Progress or Eibach Springs
Progress rear sway bar
SMS strut tower brace
BWoody traction bars "IF" you have a 5 speed

thanks man great suggestions

 

rims are always a nice addition as well =)

 

lol yes they are

 

Cool how much did you pay ( if you dont mind me asking) ive seen some for $150 to $400

 

I paid $263 shipped and bought it from here: http://www.turbotechracing.com/produ...viewPrd.asp?id category=5380&idproduct=2729

It went in relatively easily without having to take off the bumper.

Here are some pictures of the intake:
