If you are looking for sound, then the takada or K&n will be your best bet, both are signiicantly cheaper than the F sport.

If you are looking for gains, then JoeZ will be your best option since it has proven gains.

If you really want the F sport, you can cut your intake box in the exact manner from your OEM I take box, and just change the intake tube.

But in all honesty, I don't really hear a significant sound improvement. Especially if your exhaust is modded for sound too.

Significant improvement on sound and a great compliment to F Sport exhaust. They are meant to be together. The exhaust dies off at 3500 RPM and the F Sport intake takes up from 3500 RPM all the way to red line. I have them for 3 years + and happy since first day.

F Sport intake also gains ~5 HP just like the JoeZ, both have very similar design.

It was my first mod and I absolutely love it! The sound is perfect and definitely exceeded what I expected.

Go for it if you can find it for cheap. I have one. Car started sounding different after about 3500RPMs. Maybe a slight increase in acceleration but to be honest it was probably just me stepping on it more often to hear the intake sound.

Go for Takeda. Its what I have, and its the loudest of the bunch... the air filter also doesn't require caring like the k&n one... no oil required!
You get a nice growl-kind of sound

Sounds great especially when you get over 3000rpm, worth the money I'd say

I like mine. But I don't like the mpg drop when using the f sport filter. When using regular filter I get 27 mpg avg and about 24-25 when using fsport filter.

But sound wise, I like it.

I dont think the filter changes MPG like this. A better flow filter should actually give better MPG than a dirty filter. F Sport filter has better air flow than regular one so it ahould not decrease MPG at all. i beleive your MPG drops because you rev up more to hear the zrooom zroommm sound of the intake lol everyone does that after installing fsport intake haha
