The BEST intake is the one that YOU like the BEST...the one that BEST fits YOUR budget.....I and no one I know has EVER seen any hard dyno data on ANY of the popular intakes on the market....do they do some good? I am sure they do....its just a matter of how much good.....so its up to YOUR personal preferance.

Go to a car tuning shop and buy the parts (pipe and filter) separate and make your own. Go to the local sign shop and have them make you a decal to put along the side of the piping. Then you can have the best one. Or shell out 2 hundred bones and buy one. Which one? Flip a coin. Heads I win tails you lose.

yeah mine... was made for a civic(that i got for $40). Yeah i know civics suck or what ever but i didn't wanna shell out 200 dollars for a pipe with a filter. Mine is a Short Ram. I took the civic pipe cut about 5 in. off (so i could fit the sensor and the filter on) pluged the breather portion of the the pipe (the section where the hose goes from the pipe to the breather on the valve cover) put a breather filter on the valve cover. put the temp sensor in its prospective spot ( i had to take the gasket from the box where the sensor originally went so it could fit) bought another gasket for the MAF sensor to connect to the pipe and voila short ram for under $75. And its polished. And its just as good as any other short ram. Just if you wanted to know.

If you go to the right shop, they will even have the proper piping for your car.
