Default performance intake

hey, i'm about to go to autozone sometime this week and i was wondering how the universal intakes from there are. also what do i do with the o2 senser after i install it? my friend installed an intake on his car and he put one of those resistors in it but ive heard that they can cause problems. any help would be appreciated. thanks

These sensors can sometimes cause a CEL (Check Engine Light) because of the intake. Most people upgrade to either a Injen, AEM, or K & N intake. Everyone has their diffrent opinion so its up to you. Go to AutoZone or some online store and they will run you through a selector that will pick out the right intake for your car. There is also just a stock replacement filter designed to fit right into your car if you don't want to go with the SRI (Short Ram Intake) or CAI (Cold Air Intake). What are you looking for?

im goin for a short ram, i found a universal intake tube for $50 and the filter for $25. i dont have much money so i dont really want to go with an intake fit for my car. most of those ive found are $125 min. is there any way to stop the sensor from causeing the CEL to turn on? also is this intake from autozone worth it?
