There are so many cold air intakes I think it boils down to personal preferance.If I had it to do over again I'd modifly my stock air box and use a top of the line drop dry drop in filter.Use the SEARCH function.Ought to be enough threads/posts on the subject to make all night reading.

I used an Airaid drop in filter, and did a DIY cold air intake. (made a bigger hole in the bottom of the box) I'm very happy with mine... cheap, too...

I like my AFE Pro Dry stage one. It is all about what you like I guess. No issues with the AFE so far.

I like my S&B also, they are the only ones I've seen that use ISO testing for flow rate at max CFM and dust filtering.

Tough question to ask, alot of discussion about this. Maybe I would ask which ones to avoid, who has had a problem with theirs, and work from there?
