RB or AEM. IMO the RB is tuned bettor.

HKS has one of the highest power gains and it sounds really nice. Also, the way it is designed it does well in the rain. Many intakes such as the AEM tend to get clogged up with water from rain.



But the Umnitza intake sounds much better and it brings you 8whp, which isn't much lower than the others.

RB intake is probably the best, but all big names are going to be decient.

the one in the video does look really good, and yeah it sounds cool, but neither of those things really matter. You want something that widens the powerband on top of maybe adding a few hp up top. Area under the curve is more important than a few peak numbers. Someone find dyno charts for some different intakes and compare.

It frees up HP, not add's. And WHP? are you sure is isnt FWHP?



O and personally, i like the REVi Ram air intake.

don't waste your money on an intake for the 8. an ecu will give you the best gains, next to forced induction.
