    So I'm ditching the airbox mod, what's the least expensive/bang for your buck Intake?

    Title tells all.

    So what's the best intake for this car? I plan on using my dryflow filter that I have on the car already.

    really there is no cheap way to go about the intake on these and ALL of them come with a filter so keeping your current one i guess is your discretion, however i have the AEM and im not happy with it at all, im actually going to switch to the Injen shortly. So i guess my opinion has nothin to do with "bang for your buck" its about quality and performance gains Injen all the way or look into the R&D fabrication that i beleive Dreamer has.

    Well I went with the black Injen intake. And thanks guys so much for your opinions. $230 shipped EBAY! I can still use the dryflow right?! I just don't want to have to worry about the CEL.

    I have the RD Fabs intake as mentioned elsewhere in this thread. It's made to match the TB size, it comes in a fantastic polished finish, and it's the same price as the Rebel. (actually cheaper base price) I'm 100% satisfied in it.

    Always keep in mind when buying car parts, that the cheapest you can get is not always the best. IMO RD and Rebel are the only choices for intake because they aren't huge tuning houses pumping out quantity, but they are small fab shops making quality.

    Injen should come with a dryflow filter outta the box so you shouldnt have to worry about a CEL.

    LOL no problem, appreciate the heads up though. Yeah, I just think the metal tubing will help resonate the S/C whine more than rubber and a dryflow. But I think I'm still going to use my dryflow. Any hints on how to clean it, other than with the AEM "cleaning kit"? I've heard of soaking in gas, but ya know.
