Which kit would be best??
just get what looks good. im gettin a mac when i have the money. its kinda like exhaust. your not gonna get that much hp out of it soo get what looks good
Might want to change that... MAC has been known to have fitment problems.
well then ill just save a couple more bucks and get a steeda. im just saying eaither way, the demolet intake vrs the other intakes like bbk or somthing its like a 1 hp or 2 hp difference. yea i might not get mac, ill just get a better brand

Is the true cold air intake better than the one that has the intake in the engine bay?? The true one has the filter inside the fenderwall, which would give the most gains?? I'm looking to gain EVERY single bit of performance i can with bolt-ons.

yup its colder in the fender but that also makes another bend in the intake to turn it into the fender

I would say JLT for CAI, or K&N FIPK for SRI.

I hope to get the JLT CAI when I get my Accufab t/b and plenum, so that would be my choice.

In the fenderwell, hence, thats why I said JLT CAI. An SRI is a "short ram intake", which is the one in the engine bay.

I'd get K&N or JLT (I think I'm gonna get JLT personally). They are both plastic and have heatshields. I wouldn't get the fenderwell kind. It will probably give the same HP but there is always the SMALL chance of getting a bunch of water sucked into it when u go into a puddle. Plus I think it looks cooler if you can actually see the filter

My $0.02
