Buy a pair of K&N filters for your stock box.

Max-Redline.com - 3" Air-Intake Aluminum Pipe, Mandrel Bent Polished, 2.0mm Thick Tube, 18" Length

pop 2 of those into your stock air box and connect to the Needswings.com Devil's Horns

NeedsWings Devil Horns

Edit* my grill is off on my avitar picture. On the sides you can see the Devil's Horns sticking out.
That's effectively the same thing TVT marketed, but they had a significant markup. $15 each is dirt cheap.

I had the aluminum pipes, and w/o the Devil Horns there are some fit & finish issues and the pipes get hot very quickly, and retain that heat for a while. I recently switched to 3" M-Benz pipes for this reason. See my thread in this forum on that...

If you're going to retain your factory airbox, the OE setup is fairly effective just VERY restrictive. Don't do the aluminum pipes unless you also do the Devil Horns. Also, now that you have two huge funnels out front, you will need to clean/check your filters quite often from the bugs as they have a direct path to the filter now that is basically unavoidable.
