actually there is a injen intake out there for the 062s and some 05s. because some 05s are the drive by wire and the others are controlled electronicaly. so some of the 03-04 intakes should fit the 05 vibes. yhe way to tell if you have the wire look at the throttle body and look for this (the green circle.)

I have the Injen one in my 04Vibe. sure it cost more then the other brands but works 100% to my liking and its polished, not painted.

Nascar, that is the drive by cable throttle, not the DBW.Drive by cable throttle or CCT = Cable Controlled Throttle:Drive by wire throttle or ECT = Electronically Controlled Throttle:
