Looking for good places to go to in my area of Washington for car maintenance and installs etc.....also cold air intake v.s. ram air intake?

 

There are no true cold air intakes for the 2IS

Your choices are the Joe Z ($125, max power gains, retains the stock airbox so it's the quietest unless you cut a hole in the stock lower box to make it look like the F-sport one)

The F-sport. Which is largely a clone of the Joe Z for more money, but includes a lower airbox piece with an extra hole that just makes it louder, and is a bit north of $300.

Or

some variant of a hot-air short ram intake (which is louder than either of the above and generally costs more)

Any of them are quite easy to install yourself though

 

The f-sport also comes with a replacement air filter and a lot of people that buy the Joe Z also buy a drop in filter.
