yeah but the thing I don't like is that Buschur didn't put much testing into their intake. Problems were caused and people are now forced to buy the CF shield (which does look good) to put a bandaid fix on the situation. An intake like AMS's actually is bent away from the fan. They obviously did some testing and found the fan to cause issues so they moved it over.

I would go with Works. It's expensive, but so are HKS filters that have to be replaced every 5-10 thousand. I hear bad things about K&N oil and MAF sensors. Even if it's not true, I tend to steer clear of any posible problems. I was considering the Works one until I decided to get a whole intake.

I'm running the Buschur and havent had an issue (CF cover is on order now). I dont know about "not testing" their intake-they're on the up and up when it comes to Evo parts. If you're sold on a drop in-check out the works, a little better then HKS, imo. If you want a new pipe/cone set up, I like the Buschur a lot and would def recommend it to someone else to run in their car.
AMS also makes a good set up, as well as Ultimate, ect.
I'd PM AMS and Buschur and see how the response is from them. Dyno sheets are up-you'll get "better" results from the cone/MAF pipe now (and a little from a tune and intake) down the road.

I just ordered an HKS drop in. It is cheap, and can be replaced 4-5 times until I get to the price of 1 works filter. Plus you need to buy the works recharge kit, which is $20+, which is almost the cost of another HKS filter!!!
