Which air intake should I get?
Hello all, I am new here, I do not know much about cars and I am trying to learn more now. I have question and I hope you guys can help me.
Again, I am one of those who like to hear the loud psssh sound from the turbo. I have been researching and reading this forum a lot. What I found out are, aftermarket BOV has a few problems and need some tunning. But by just changing the air intake with everything else stock can also make the sound loud too.
So what kind or which air intake should I get if my priority is the following?
1. Loud psssh sound.
2. No drivibility issue, like stalling...?
3. Easy install, plug'n play with less tunning or none.
4. No performance decreases.
5. Cost.
thank you in advance!

Well a lot of guys prefer the HKS RS kits. I personally went with the Apexi Power Filter kit. I could be any more happy with it. Gains?? I dont know. But yeah do not Vent your BOV, its just headaches. The open element filter should be plenty loud enough for what you sound like you want. A little more in depth searching should yeild you the answers.
HKS RS, is a good system go w/ because their tubing goes from fat to skinny which means more pressure going into the turbo! Their filter on the other hand i personally dont like them that much, there was this link i saw in terms of cleanness of the filters the hks type filter came in last!
the A'PEXi Power filter i think is the best filter out there!

All of the filter upgrades that include a replacement MAF pipe will cause your car to stall.. Most filter upgrades will alter the MAF sensors characteristics and likely require some sort of calibration (Flash, piggyback, etc..)
IF you just want to do this just for the sound, then pick up a basic open element cone filter upgrade, Buschur, Lancershop filter, etc.. But do keep in mind it does affect things in your car.
Besides, according to your list.. Only the K&N stock replacement panel filter qualifies.. except for the whoosh sound..
Your best bet is to stick with the stock airbox and a upgraded air filter..
