JLT and the C&L are good intakes, but the difference in performance is very small, so go with what you think looks best/costs less

the CAI + Tuner is the first thing anybody should do to our cars, as it really wakes them up, and is the best bang for the buck

I have the steeda intake and have no complaints. Also heard nothing but good things from JLT and C&L racer.

JLT kinda has some fitment issues a few of us have experienced. I would go with the FRPP because IMO it looks the best. There is no real advantage to which intake you go with. For tuner, SCT/Diablo with custom tuning from either bama or brenspeed.

Any intake plus a Brenspeed tune will be great. No difference in the intake itself besides looks. I love my BBK!

FRPP (Bullitt) intake looks best IMO but i'm not willing to give up the 5-7rwhp I'd be giving up by going with that CAI. Bamachips doesn't carry it for that reason and I can quote the e-mail if you like

So EXCEPT for FRPP, it doesn't make much of a difference which brand of intake you go with.
