Narrowed down list for intake and turbo-back, but still can't decide.

Im very happy with both

Good luck! post up with what you choose!!
How quiet is the AEM?

Check out the harman stage two package. It seems to have all the parts you are looking for, coupled with a nice low tone sound. You can get it without a AP and i think it puts the total at like 1200ish.

The ETS intake is loud - you can hear the turbo spool and bov. I was asked the other day what kind of bov I had the other day just idling out of the parking lot at work. Coworker very suprised I had a recirculated setup. I have tbe from ETS as well. My opinion they sound the coolest. A little on the loud side so be aware - you may want this however.

The quality of ETS is damn good for the price.

Also no Cobb ap support right now - so you would have to tweak. No problem if you read in the how to sections if you have 08. I have 09 MR and have to bend over to a tuner shop to help me out. The ap stg 2 maps all run lean.

You have never heard of harman? They are a really well respected company. Do a YouTube search for harman stage 2 evo x and that is the exact setup you are looking for, listen to the sound and see if you like it.

I also already made a thread about that kit that you can just search on this site for that has the video in it.

The problem is that it is a single and I want a twin tip.

I'm in a similar boat as you, I just can't decide whether to go cold air or just the short ram air? Benefits/drawbacks anyone? Not to thread hijack. Just wondering what most people are doing.

Thanks!

A couple people have mentioned issues with the AMS intake causing strange idling and MAF readings but I can't find anything about that anywhere? Anybody have any more info on that?

Can anyone chime in on whether a cold air intake shows better gains than just the ram air style?

Thanks!
Brett
