injen is only good because of the piping. if you get the HKS suction and some licp and uicp...its the best. loud suck and works amazing.

filter isnt that bad on the HKS you buy a new one with a diff color, its the best performing one on the market. weapon r is crap.

i thought K&N Typhoon Intake was the Worst Intake ;p ...
IMO, Injen Intake is the best, But remember you gotta get tuned after installation or else u might suffer from HP Loss or driving issues ! ..... it goes for all intakes !

APEXi intake is the best as it cleans the best and doesn't effect the MAF. Buschurs does teh same as well.

You see the most gains off HKS RS, Buschur and Injen, but only because of the hard pipe.. If you are doing minimal mods why not use a hard pipe (any of the three) and a good drop-in filter like Works/K&N and a few others... Your gains will be minimal with all of them, but you will suffer less without an initial flash with the drop-in filter and hardpipe and it sounds good. Plus, you introduce other issues when you go away from the stock set-up. all IMHO of course.. good luck either way..

The stock HKS (yellow) may not have the filtering capabilities as some of the others, but the air flow is top-notch.. If you get the Mega then you will get the better of both worlds..

A filter/intake isn't going to do you anygood w/out a flash. Lets pretend you have some sort of tune on your car.....I'd go with the apex-i or buschur filter. Or if you're bling go with the HKS RS or ARC. No flash...get a drop-in like the works, bmc, or K&N.

I'm really happy with the agency power intake... it's a k&n cone and it replaces the stock box and connects right up to the MAF...
