Default affordable intakes?

Hi. I just bought a 1999 prelude type SH. I want to put a cold air intake on. I dont wanna spend a whole lot of money, but i want something a little decent if possible. any recommendations on brands? any brands i should stay away from? i dont want to go and just get any ol' cheap one that has a crappy filter and i dont want to do any modifying in order to instal it. ive seen them advertised as "no modifying" so id like to stay that rout.
does anyone have a decent yet inexpensive intake on their prelude right now that theyre happy with?

please help

You can get a ebay intake and get a k&n filter for it.

Yeah. The big names that charge the big prices aren't actually giving you a better intake. They would have you believe that thiers channel air faster or better, but that's just crap.

Get yourself a low cost pipe and put a K&N filter on it for a good short ram intake.

I think most people prefer cold air.
