Does anyone know if the air intake is an option or does it come standard on all SKYs?
Just to be explicitly clear: ALL SKYs come with
an air intake. The "stock" variety is a plastic thing that draws air from alongide the block. There an optional "Cold Air Intake" or "CAI" that draws cold air from ahead of the radiator. The part retails for $295, and you can install it yourself and have your dealer do it for you. They shouldn't charge more than about $100 or so to install it, so if they charge you in excess of $500 for it then I think you're probably paying too much. Buy it on-line for $295, and do it yourself or pay a mechanically-inclined buddy a six-pack to do it for you. It comes with all the instructions you need.
So, when you get your SKY - YES! It will come with an air intake. The throatier-sounding CAI can be purchased as an option and installed by the dealer or by you.
