There's many threads on this forum on intakes. Search and you'll find them. Personally I have a Takeda.

As far as VIP is concerned, do a Search and you'll find out that you should stay away from them.

The joe z, hps and RR-racing are the best intake options other than leaving it stock. I honestly thing the RR with their air oil seperator is the best choice because it keeps the factory two stage intake and deletes all the pcv valve system blow by which can be a significant problems on a road course.

I have the HPS and I'm happy with it. It keeps the stock box and the 2 stage intake.

By doing a lot of research, you'll find out that a lot of forum members have dyno tested full intakes and just the pipe and that the pipe bring more horsepower due to less heat soak. The Joe-z and HPS proved to be one of the best intakes.. I've had both and I would suggest either or!

Save your money and buy headers. The intake is not the restriction in the system.

full intake = sound + heat soak (lose gains)
intake pipe = hp gains
