After going through HPS, Injen, Fujita, and now with the Joe Z intake, I'd have to say that I'm really satisfied with the Joe Z intake. HPS and Fujita's design were too similar in terms of looks. In performance, Injen, Fujita, and HPS were too similar in terms of the way it utilizes the an aftermarket filter that sits near the engine which clearly has hot air surrounding it. Sure it sounds louder, but through the higher RPMs about 4k, you don't feel as much of a pull as you would on the Joe Z intake which utilizes the stock airbox closure bringing air directly through the front air dam. You do hear a subtle noise, but I would sacrifice the better performance than the short ram intakes which probably only give you better sound. You can feel the difference in the lower end to high end RPM and it feels much smoother with the Joe Z than the Injen.
In conclusion: Joe Z > Injen > Fujita > HPS
In conclusion: Joe Z > Injen > Fujita > HPS
Nice review Kenny!!!

I went with the Fujita and am very happy with the sound, but obviously don't feel any difference in HP. In my experience, most of the intakes will give you a nice growl, I wish I had just gone with the cheapest (JoeZ)

after installing my intake, i noticed a slightly rougher idle. after i floored it a few times everything seems all smooth. lexus quiet at idle and mean when you floor it. i can't feel any difference in power tho.
