I have the March Ram Air with a Tunable Induction pipe. You will gain mileage and throttle response. Power? Most likely, but I don't go to the track and don't have a dyno, so the mileage increase and throttle response upgrade are all that I can attest.
The March system is a sealed ram air, which will perform better than unsealed. However, ram air also delivers a whole lotta dirt to your filter, so you'll want something that can take it. I run a 2-stage oil-based foam filter with an additional foam wrap around the outside. This has to be cleaned every 2500 miles along with the MAF.

Took the Pipe off today and just left the filter portion in and I feel no diff.
Stock tube and filter .
Quick and cheap.

I just got to looking at those pics.
Whats the sense of having that big 4" pipe when its still sucking air into that little TB and plenumn ?
I Bet you would hardley see a performance gain with a Filter/ TB/ plenumb combo
VS a CAI / TB /plenumn combo.
After my whistle issue with the metal CAI's I'm about through with them.Im just going to find a kick *** silicone air passage tube

Go with the full intake. The stock intake tube is small and restrictive. Just getting a K&N isn't going to let that air flow any more freely through the inlet tube. That's why the JLT inlet tube is so much bigger than everyone elses. And that's why you see the most gains from a JLT intake vs. any other intake.
I decided to go with JLT just because of how poplar they are on the forums. When I got mine in, I understood why. When you get yours in, you'll understand too.
