Air intakes will basically all do the same ranging from $20-70. I spent 60 on my CAI from ebay.

Intake and exhaust is the starting point for everything. Lets your car breath and exhale better .

dont waste money on a throttle body yet---if you can even get one for a 3.8---dont know that you can---but that wont give you much if yours stock. and the intake for your car is different. paar got lucky cuz his intake is a traditional type...the 98-02 intakes are much different.

you can get the fast toys intake setup:

yeah those 98-02 intakes dont seem very efficient...even modded.

"oh look, theres a small crack here in front of the radiator...lets get air from there!"

hell the SS and WS6 ram air for those years evens sucks too. it just routes air in front of the air box and lets the small gap between the airbox and the radiator cover suck the extra air in.
