99-00 Si intake will not fit on his 04. You have an automatic so there isn't to many option's. The trans on your car is to big and the battery sit's in the way. Injen makes a cold air for the automatic cars but it loses hp's and torque on top end. So saying that i would say you have no choice of just going with the aem short ram.

if you have to get a short ram i would go to vatozone and get a cheap tube and a K&N filter

If ur wealthy get the V2, thats the best one. if ur poor go on ebay, get a $20 short ram , and buy a K&N filter. Thats 2nd best.

Honestly, your not going to see much power from just an intake anyway. It will sound faster, but an intake is only half an upgrade. Header and cat-back will complete the equation.
