Default JoeZ intake pipe vs full assembly

i need help deciding if i should buy the JoeZ intake pipe along with the HKS Super Hybrid Air Filter or the full F-Sport assembly. The JoeZ is $125 +$46 for the filter and the F-Sport full assembly is $389. What do you think??

Amen to noise!
Or SOUND to be exact. A friend of mine said to me during a short trip "I like the exhaust sounds!". It was sort of funny to tell him it's intake sound he's hearing.

From what I have read the Joe Z will get you better HP gain. When I do mine, I am going w/ F Sport because I don't care about the HP gain.

I just got the JoeZ intake pipe for Christmas... I've read that if noise is a factor for you, you can either drill holes in the stock air box or by the F-Sport air box. Personally, I think if noise becomes a factor for me, I'll buy an aftermarket intake filter.

Joe Z b/c same pipe for better price. Plus, we should support a fellow CL member! :P

If you want the noise, you can do what SoCal35 has stated. But, if you care more about noise, then go w/ a SRI (even though you'll probably lose hp rather than make some gains with the CAI).

The F-Sport sucks in hot engine bay air. I'm gonna assume because of this that the JoeZ makes more power.
