They're all pretty much the same. Just depends on looks and price pretty much.

yeah we do get this question once a day.

well, since cold air is better, you might want to get on that routes your cone filter down behind the radiator.

I just recommend keeping the stock resonator that the TB connects to. Seems to help since it smooths out air flow.

eh

some people are gonna get mad at me for this, but what the hell...

intake is all noise on our cars; the gains are so minimal for all the standard intake mods we have available to us, it's ridiculous. take the top of your airbox off and throw a K&N cone on there for 30 bucks and call it a day, you'll be more than satisfied.

Resonator doesn't help. I just took mine off and put in a mid-pipe. I used to think it was better but from driving it for the past few days it seems to be a tad slower in the higher rpms that the mid-pipe. Also just cut holes in your lower air box since paying $250 for an intake that just looks pretty is stupid...

i ran a mid pipe and found that my higher RPMs where lagging vs using the stock resonator.

hmmm....

I have the injen and I like it. I have noticable gains and it sounds good. It sucks up air and is impressive when under wot.

Like everyone has said time and time again, no truelly noticable gains, more so improved sound and looks. If u have a y-pipe and/or exhaust maybee. Check the for sale forum I am selling mine, looks real nice but the 2-3 realistic HP gains are un-noticable to me. Check my website (click the WWW button below) if u wanna see a pic, email if interested.
