Default JoeZ or F-Sport intake Tube?

I just needed an opinion on if I should get the Joe Z intake or the F-sport intake tube, If I got with the f-sport I'm going to be buying just the tube not the airbox or filter , however I will upgrade the filter later. But what do you guys think? JoeZ or F-Sport? And will the F-sport intake fit with the stock airbox?
Btw, the JoeZ runs at $125 and the F-sport intake for just the tube it goes for $129.
Thanks for any help!

Being in CA I would recommend the F-Sport because it is CARB legal.

Information here if you care about that sort of thing.

If you are looking F-sport advantage is the 50 state carb legal. Where did u find just the f-sport for just the tube?
Otherwise its just a pipe mandrel bent the way it should and has the intlet for the tube. So if price is not much difference go with f-sport.

Only difference other then being carb legal is the color. With engine cover on, it will pass for stock.

Default Question.

I just bought the F-sport Tube since I did not want to wait 2 weeks plus shipping time and I plan on cutting a square on the box and adding the fsport filter. When the tube comes in, is it an easy install using the stock clamps/rubber tubing or do I need to buy the individual clamps/couplers from sewell?

Short answer: yes. I hope we we're not too late. Frankly while you're at it I would just buy the lower box. Its less than 100 bucks.

OP what did you end up doing?

Thanks bro, saved me $40! I was thinking the same thing with the lower box, I'll get to it eventually.

I went with the F-Sport tube and F-Sport washable filter, very pleased with the sound, aesthetics, and price.

Likewise! I finally got done installing mine today and it was a breeze. Ended up getting the lower intake box with the F-sport filter. Overall, super pleased with the sound and look.

I have the F-sport on my 350 and I love it! You can really hear that thing sucking the air when you nail the throttle!

Are there any other intake tubes options available if you want to retain the stock air box?

F-sport. It's designed for the car and it doesn't void warranty if you still have it.
