i've been down your road, and to tell you the truth, i've found myself living by the "do it right or do it twice" method. as far as performance mods, don't skimp. save your money to spend on an intake, tuner and good exhaust.

I did it on my 2003. It opens it up a lot. The filter cover restricts so much and the silencer cuts about half the airflow out. Do it, it sounds better too.

I offered it up to Joe_STX for $185 shipped.

No, but I listed it on ebay. Linky
If you're seriously interested, I could end the listing. Lemme know.
