Default Best Cold Air Intake Options?

I was looking into buying a CAI For my RC350 very, very soon.
What brand do you guys think is best and why?
Any type of real power gains? I currently have a muffler delete which i posted on this forum.
Thanks in advance for any kind of help.

P.S: If possible please upload sound clips. Thanks..

I'm strongly considering purchasing that one as it does seem like every Rc with a intake has that one.
Ive only found two vids of the RC with it on.. Thanks.

- GearHead69's video sold me on this
- I purchased mine from Josh (Meraki Autoworks)
- I have it coupled with the F Sport Performance exhaust. Sounds clean. Turns heads all day. Very rewarding

If you installed the CAI prior to the exhaust, did you notice any mpg gains?

I'm looking for a CAI too. I see the Takeda Stage-2 Pro DRY S and Takeda Stage-2 Pro 5R. Not sure which one to choose, anyone got suggestion?

Go dry. The ratio to dry vs oiled we sold is like 10:1.
