To put it another way, there isn't $244 worth of gain with any Stillen lip on our cars.

GAB is free and the gains are similar to a short ram intake. Just doesn't look as sexy. I'm just saying that there isn't a compelling reason to spend money on the intake side since there isn't a lot of power to be gained. If you want an intake for looks or sound, that is completely different and understandable. Just don't kid yourself into thinking there is a ton of power potential with an intake on our cars.

Best bang for your $244 is apparently the NWP intake spacers.

Being a firm believer in the "if it sounds too good to be true...." mantra, & considering the Injens come in at about $300+, I'm highly skeptical. Anyone know WTH is the deal with these "Blinglights" products? Ok? Avoid at all costs? Run and hide? Poke your own eyes out before putting one of these things on your car? ...what?....

I say try it and let us know how well it works or doesn't work.....But as most have suggested the short ram intake is the best for IMO low-mid and topend power if done right....
Here's a pic of my Hybrid Shortram Intake>

That is a PERFECT SRI. it is no different than any of these DIY'er set-ups or even the BERK and for the price, definately worth it. And for that price you can still afford to replace the cheap cone filter with a dry-air element or K&N or whatever you choose.

But as I stated in the recent BERK post, I prefer the DIY'er...
