That's why DCI works the best for the money. Disregard anyone who says "I don't like them for the looks"! Power gains are power gains -period.

Other makes you may want consider AFE, Ingne, Dinan (expensive), and BMS.

I've used the drop-in types too (k&N) but you'll only gain over and above a certain of increased air volume compared to OEM.

Someone has mentioned the OEM design is pretty good, and I agree with that statement. But to maximize the potential difference, one of the stated aftermarket intakes will best match your Cobb tune.

Are you forgetting heat soak?

I think that this becomes an important factor if all he is gonna run right now is tune only.

I wouldn't want my DD reaching high temps from driving spiritedly and we all know that would happen with DCI.
