i think no body can give u a definite answer.
there isnt really an intake that is a "pure" power-adder.

wait for AEM one and see..
AMS one will require a tune and most likely its the tune that would give u the most HP...

Getting a K&N(or other brand) drop in filter may be enough for you. Unless you are getting tuned as well, or have the mods to support the increased air flow it might be a minimal increase in hp/tq without a tune or other mods. What mods have you done to your car so far?

X2.... This might be the first intake I've ever bought for any of my cars if it's as good as I think it's going to be.

X3.

I have only a K&N drop in filter, and with the few aftermarket mods on my car, was able to make a decent increase in power over stock.

IMHO, without some extra power potential (mods) most of our motors probably won't benefit very much from any thing more than just a K&N filter. Actually I suspect that those with similar upgrades to what I have on my motor now could probably benefit from a decent aftermarket intake, but personally I don't care for any of the currently available aftermarket intakes.

If the AEM intake had been available when I was doing my mods, based on the information I have read, I probably would have bought one. If no one buys my car (even though it is available for almost free now ) and I decide to keep my car, I will most likely get a AEM intake, and of course a new tune.

The TAKEDA gives 20 Hp and 20 Foot pounds of torque. Get the one with the heat shield/box.
