Neither, intakes really only produce more sound and some actually lose HP. Stick with the OEM with a good quality drop in filter and a Z tube if you're looking for more power.

I understand idk z tube looks like trash bit it works but what happens with a CAI everyone talks about HEAT SOAK. So Well what happens when you chip the ecu isn't it gonna make it do what the intake was made for? Instead of lose power?

Heat soak is a joke. The air travels too fast to be effected by pipe material etc. Cold air will yield better results with a proper tune, but there is no "chipping" the ecu in these cars. Need to reflash or get a standalone

Uprev.com check for an authorized tuner on their site in your area. A dyno tune will run somewhere around $500. Most of your 0-60 gain will come from removing the throttle limiter. You can expect a ~10whp/tq peak gains with better fuel economy
