Best Air Intake for the money?
Best Air Intake for the money? SLP, S&B, Volant, K&N, etc all claim to have hp increases for their air intake tubes/setups. But I wanna hear it from you guys.

Verdad Gallardo I don't like the 1313 cause its sucking in all the nasty **** that's kicked up from the road and warmer air accumulates down there from the radiator
I've liked my SSRA so far. I get IATs that make the local cobra guys jealous. I've seen IATs in the mid-upper 60s with some of this cool weather we've had lately. With the possible exception of the ws6 hood and a good setup (don't quote me on that since I don't own one), our cars are bottom breathers, so the scoop intakes (SSRA, FTRA, Chris1313) generally work the best.
As for recorded gains from only the intake kits, there's an old E.T. comparison with a scoop blocked off somewhere on here, but most of us do more mods than just a cold air kit between visits to the dyno.
Ported stock throttle bodies work well, and can either be ported yourself, or ordered for cheap on ebay. I haven't seen many other members change throttle bodies until they change intake manifolds.

proven gains with ssra.
Removable, lightweight, best flowing IMO.. and cheap.

Just the free ram air mod on your lower air box, but that has to be done for any of the scoop kits. You have to remove part of the lower radiator shroud, but you shouldn't have to cut it. I'm running the AC version, not sure if the non-AC version install is different.
