you can build your own K&N intake kit for stupid-cheap. $100 - $150.
here's one i built way back...
https://www.rx7club.com/showpost.php...58&postcount=8
here are the parts you need:
$37.99 (eBay, free shipping) - '93 - '95 Rx-7 Polished Intake Pipes
$31.03 (eBay, free shipping) - K&N Filter Part #: RD-0720 (x2)
$0.00 - Intake Heat Shield (make it yourself - you can download the template from this post or this alternate link...)
Total cost: about $100 (without breather filters)
if you have the air pump still, you can get a moo silencer or make one yourself using breather filters. you also will want to add a breather for the air pump intake (like i did in the photos above)
you can also ad some split rubber hose or weather molding to the edge of the heat shield if you like. i did that when i ran this setup, but i don't have any photos.

I'll vouch for the Fighters Garage intake. I designed it - it uses nice pipes with beads rolled on the ends (the flimsy Ebay pipes don't have beads rolled, they want to pop off), a nice silicone elbow to the primary turbo, welded nipple for the airpump air to draw from, heat shield, and real K&N filters.
It's a good, straightforward intake for a fair price.

So the pettit intake is kinda too much I have a stock box with some ebay pipes but fitment is horible so I think the fighter one looks really good how does the heat sheild hold up and can I plug the smog pump with a little filter so there is no turbulense.

You don't have to worry about turbulence with the airpump - it's disengaged at full throttle. But, you can get the airpump-less version of the intake (which costs less if I remember right) and just run a filter on the airpump.
The heat shield is pretty solid, it will hold up really nicely. It's pretty thick and sturdy metal.

Personally, I would go with the SR Motorsports CAI. While SR is not a well liked name on this forum, the intake box is an exact rip of the M2 CAI. Since M2 isn't around, it's the next best thing.

If you don't want it, that's one thing. If you had the money you would get it, then don't buy something just to get something. Look in the classifieds for a used M2/SR CAI or save up and get what you want. You'll be happier in the end getting what you want rather than compromising and just getting "something".
