Default Another intake question

ok i'm new here and havent posted much but i've read alot of forums about intakes and they all say joe-z is the way to go with whp increases but i'm wondering what about the other ones and i understand the joe-z does have a higher peak gain but what about mid-range say during a pull what intake is adding more power to the car during a pull

I have f-sport intake and I can't feel any HP gain on whatever rpm range. the gain from intake is so little and you can't feel the increase. The only reason I got an intake is the sound. the sound of f-sport intake is so awesome that it sold me straight away.

No intake adds enough hp to this car for a person to feel.

The -stock- intake already provides more air than the engine can use.

The Joe Z by smoothing airflow while retaining the stock airbox (rather than the aftermarket short rams that suck hot underhood air) is the best option.

If you're in CA then the F-sport is your best option since it's more $ for essentially the same thing but you get an EO number to pass CA emissions testing with.

just get lighter wheels with better tires. you'll feel the difference from those more so than intake + exhaust.

i have the Joe-Z and I got it just for more of a smoother intake pipe...and maybe one day soon if they can figure out more mods for this car in the performance department I will then need that extra air:-)
