Default 2004.5 S40 air intake? cold air intake possible?

Iv got a 2004.5 s40 2.4i and looking to add a little more power by an air intake. Is it possible to add a cold air intake to this car and how much of a benefit would a regular air intake like this one, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_6qDmXcdwY, actually give my car?
Thanks

link is no good. As far as I know you'll have to fabricate one, they don't make one specifically for that model year. Most CAI's add roughly 10hp
