There is a little gauge on the side of the airbox, as long as the indicator isn't in the red with the engine running, you don't need to replace it. Replace it with an SRI or a CAI if you want (I have an SRI) but if you're eating gas and your indicator on the airbox is still good, changing it won't help.

If you are having issues, do yourself a favour, do the research or get someone knowledgeable to help you (whether it's a friend or a paid mechanic) -- you'll save time and money over just throwing parts at it.
