I have the K&N FIPK that I got cheap on Ebay because it was used and I have the 6 cylinder. But I'd invest your money in other places. There was a good example in the YJ forum about installing a cold air intake on a 4banger. Basically, they already get enough air as it is, and it usually turns out to be a mind over matter type of deal. Plus, more air doesn't help unless you have a less restrictive exhaust to get rid of that extra air. Check it out here

If your looking for a cheap intake. Goto walmart or autozone and buy one of those "J" pipes and filter maked for those ricey Hondas, they even have the fittings for the small hoses. And they cost about $30 to $60 depending on where you look. They basically replace the air box. How you want to hook it up to the throttle body is up to you. Some use the stock rubber piece from the throttle body and hook it to the pipe others replace the whole setup. It's up to you. And it's cheap and easy to find.
