Intake pro's and con's

Sorry guys if there has already been a thread started about this and I have nto noticed it but I was trying to do some research in terms of intakes for the MCS and I was wanting to truly know what are the pros and cons of each. A lot of people on this board have the Alta which is cool and a lot of people have the M7 AGS. But what are the pros and cons of each from people that actually have used these? and does anyone make a cold air intake that is carbon fiber? Thanks just looking for advice in terms of what company to get an intake from.

I wouldn't call a handful 'a lot'.

Ive had the Alta and now have the AGS, The alta is a nice intake, deffenately gives you more noise and ive seen somewhere that its 12hp gain. The AGS is even louder and i did feel some gain when i first put it on and then right after the AGS went on the 16% pully went on too. So i think the combo of both really make a difference. Throttle response is nice with the bigger TB with my AGS. Now this is all my own opinion so others might have different feedback.

Here are some pictures of the AGS installed on my car without the heat shield and with it. For pictures of the system installed without the front of the car in the way go to the last page of:

It is still in the development stage.

Not ready for prime time.
