Straight shot is the easiest to install. And before the myth-mongers come in, there is NO diference between the 2 as far as performance goes. The myth that the fender mount ones give cooler air, is IMO total BS. The air isn't in the tube long enough to heat up. Just get a good one with a heat shield, and you got a good one. Try a MAC from AUTOBADGES. IMO, try to stay away from the elcheapos from E-Bay. First, they aren't smog legal, and 2nd, some have fit and quality issues.

I prefer straight shots, mostly for ease of installation; but IMO they look better and help with throttle response a bit more. I have a MAC straight shot, and i'm more than happy with it. Just dont throw anything away

I have a MAC fenderwell mount. I am happy with it even tho it was a bit difficult to get the clamp on the filter up in the fender. Other than that, looks great!
