I'm lookin at getting a new intake, but i wanna get the most hp while not spending a tooonn of money. Looking at about 350-400 range. will short ram or cold air get me more hp, and what brands should i look at.

 

dropp in. K&n or Works.
save money for something else. the dropp in will work fine, if you don't go over 400 whp.

 

what if u are over 400 2 the crank

 

the only intakes that really give you any gains are like the Injen, HKS RS, a K&N drop in or just like a bolt on cone filter to replace the box.

 

Don't forget the Buschur Racing Intake.

 

then you will need more airflow and then you will be better of with the HKS RS, Buschur etc filters.

 

My buschur racing intake arrived today

 

The only reason I say Buschur over HKS RS is that from the research that I have gathered on this forum the Buschur has a better filter element.

Not sure if I am correct, just stating what I have read when searching.

ive had both the buschur and hks intakes. the hks is definately better developed in that it has places for all the tubes to go into where the bushcur you have to put the breather filter on but i like the buschur that i have now and the buschur is cheaper. i hope this isnt your first mod. get an exhaust 1st then when you can get a tune get your intake then get it tuned or else your car will run like a dog like mine did when i installed my hks intake

 

+1 on the tune.. i actually felt a noticeable buttdyno power loss when i put the intake on

 

i already have a rsr exhaust, but i saw an injen intake w/ upper and lower ic pipes on lancershop that says it will add about 20hp. good buy, once i get it tuned with the exhaust and intake on it?

 

apexi is good as well
