F Sport for me. Both make very minimal hp gains, but the F Sport comes carb legal in Cali.

Price is probably the biggest issue. If you want CA CARB legal, then F Sport is the only one. Neither is a COLD air intake. They are both short rams. CAI's have the funnel outside the car. The AEM shows the cone filter where the f Sport uses the stock looking air box and you can't see the filter.

haha i would but my friend has to order it threw the school because he goes to UTI and i guess they get discounts.

Is sewellparts.com the best place to get Fsport parts for a good price? or are there any other websites that sell it for a cheaper price?
