Best intake for the stock uicp?

hey guys ive read there really aren't any gains from the uicp so i really dont want to do the mod and pay the money. I have a forge rs bov and was curious what is the best intake that keeps the stock uicp? I love injen but almost every kit has the uicp included and its like 400$. I already have the licp but if there are no gains in it why purchase it? I know there are alot of threads about intake choice and ive read them but i want to limit myself to stock uicp compatible unless someone has a pro to using aftermarket?

I am happy with my HKS Intake.. I have an Injen intake if you want it. Have the entire kit.. I didn't like the fitment.

AEM fits and has a small heat-shield in the kit. Many say the fitment isn't great...

But has a CARB sticker if you're in CA ;-)

the perrin has served me well, and has showed no adverse effects to the maf. ive made 360/330 on VD on under 24psi with it now.

i just ordered an ETS upper pipe with their black friday sale, as im preparing for the track in the spring, i wanted tight silicone souplers. also, the perrin intake takes up a decent amount of space and as pushed my stock coupler very close to the rad fan, but my guess is if i spent the time i could finesse it to be further away.

well it looks like the injen is hard to find without the intercooler piping. And there is no benefit to the uicp correct? I am likely gonna go with the perrin

To run the injen you really need to run their uicp. It's moves the BOV. The other intakes mentioned are a class above injen. Just my opinion
