Best intake to couple w/ Y-pipe?

I currently have a Berk intake (no midpipe) on my 2K 5sp. I plan on installing a Y-pipe sson. As far as HP and TQ across the power band, what is the best intake to couple with a Y-pipe?

Probably cold air, or Injen. They produce more torque at lower RPM's to get you up quicker. The y-pipe helps significantly more on your top end RPM's.

I still believe that for the ultimate fastest 1/4 mle times the Stillen or JWT is the way to go. Too many bends and other twists in the other systems.

CAI does sound better though.

Hacked stock airbox.

The looks of stock, the performance and sound of a CAI/hybrid, $40-60. I nearly pulled 100mph in the 1/4 with my setup. Requin6 has EXACTLY the same car and mods as myself except he's running a hybrid intake and I've got the hacked airbox. I trapped out slightly higher than he did with some of his seats removed. Pretty much the performance is the same.
