Question Fender Well Intake vs. Regular Aftermarket Intake

i was just wondering the difference and what people recommend. i have heard from many people that the intake that goes into the fender well is the best, and if that is the case id love to know more companies besides BBK that make such and intake

lol im not sure my local police department would agree with you on that but it is a good idea lmao. so, from what ive read, everybody is pretty much leaning towards the RAI. any specific reasons why? *just a question, would CAI be refering to the fenderwell, and the RAI reffering to the intake being in the engine bay?*

Mostly for looks, if I ever decided to buy one I would go with JLT or a K&N. If you got the cash it's up to you.

How about performance? supposedly the fender well intakes can produce more because they are getting colder air from inside the fender well, but everyone seems to swear by the JLT RAI.
