I have the Injen intake, I like it but it has some drawbacks. The design puts it directly behind the radiator so it's not really getting cold air. It however does produce a great sound. WHP gains are not the greatest but a definate inprovement the best thing I've noticed is the mpg increase I got, it gave me an extra 2mpg city and about 4-5mpg highway. It's not a bad setup, others probably won't agree, but I like it. The major drawback of the long tube setup is the engine starts to choke out at higher rpms but other than that its not too bad. Search is your friend try that first... flame on

Click "Search" then "Advanced Search" then enter "intake" as a keyword and select 5th Gen forum to isolate the search to that forum.

Here are a couple of recent discussions, you can piggyback more questions in those, no need for another thread.
