I plan on doing the Joe Z with a K&N filter. This won't cost more then $180. Plus you could lookup the F-Sport mod for the lower part of the air box if you want that "sound."

Do the Blitz or F-Sport drop-in filter. K&N is an "oiled" filter which could mess with the MAF sensor. Blitz/F-Sport filters are dry filters and don't have this problem.

F-sport hands down. One of the best sounding intake. Keep in mind that the Joez intake does not add any extra sound. People resort to "cutting" up their stock intake box just to achieve the F-sport intake sound.

Right. At which point they get the exact same result for half the price.

(except for people in CA, for whom paying double to get a CARB EO number might be worth it)

Keep in mind that the "extra sound" will do nothing for your performance and cost you an extra $150. The mod that people have been doing by cutting an opening in the lower airbox similar to the F-Sport airbox is free and has the same effect.

K&N is where it's at haha. It's what I've used in my Mustang for the past 3 years now, with ZERO problems. Plus it is the cheapest of them all, especially cuz my friend gets a discount on them. You'd be right if it was someone who has never used an oiled filter before. They don't need SO much oil. Plus you're not even supposed to install them until the oil starts to "dry," ie when the filter has actually soaked it in (about 20 min.).

Agreed. This intake is great for people like me because then you are 100% legal (at least for intake). The guy I take my Mustang to though would more then likely look over the intake, especially if it was just a plain black tube, ie Joe Z intake.
