I second the motion...

This seems to be the best, best for $ without a doubt. The M7 Air Gain promises to be a nice package, but for now, it's vaporware (it's much more expensive, and includes a larger throttle body).

But the HAI is the best for the money.

The AGS is definetely going to be a nice system.... should be around $300 without the throttle body and $600 with it (i think). Alta also makes a popular intake that you may want to look into and gives awesome sound inside the car.

I personally like the hot air intake that I have on the car right now until the AGS comes out. Its a $30-$40 K&N filter that goes right onto the throttle body. Awesome sound from the front of the car.

i've been very happy with my Alta and silicone tube. great sound, and it makes pretty decent power for an intake while the price isn't too expensive
