Hello Gays...
Sorry that was funny...
Getting back to your question...I can comment on the Alta intake. I purchased one and love it...makes great sound. I was going to put a BOV but with this intake you don't need one. Not sure I feel a diffrence but dyno numbers claim 10WHP..good luck.

I also have some doubts... I had initially had planed just to add a cone filter to the stock box. Then I saw the Super AGS and decided to get that.... Then I read somewhere here on NAM thet if the filter is out of the box it might suffer from heat, this is when I saw DDMWorks RIS and was blown away (I had also seen the M7 AGS-R but did not like it seems it might make tune ups more dificult).

Is the DDMWorks RIS worth the money? I would bundle this up with the M7 Vortex 2 Scoop and the M7 heat shield...

For those who don't know what the DMMWorks RIS is here the link...

That's a nice looking system. My one question is how does it handle water intrusion through the front scoop????

Great observation! So in the case there is no good answer to that, then what would be the next best system be? Maybe it was made just for the track!!

DDMworks has another CAI that is not the presurized box like that one and I think there is less risk of water intrusion it can be used with or without the RAS (Ram Air Scoop).... So what do you guys thinks between the ALTA, DDMWorks or M7 Super AGS? any of these can be fitted with the RAS if you guys think it's not a risk...
