Default Cold Air Intake

Has anyone put a cold air intake in their RC. If so what do you recommend?

Thanks for the shout out SRC350F, and sorry about the date/time stamp as I forgot to set it when I started up the dashcam.

Sweet. It does have an amazing sound, and you didn't have to spend $1,500 for the exhaust to make it sound that way. Win-Win

Attack, Retain, or Link? Seems to be 3 versions to choose from.

Any pros/cons for either?

After driving in a couple different RC's with different intakes we think the Takeda/AFE Stage 2 intake is the best. http://roadracemotorsports.com/store...oducts_id=2267

From all the debate on the ISF forum it seems that just the intake tube with an air filter is your best bet for the least amount of horsepower loss and most horsepower gain due to heat soak..
