Best OEM Inlet Manufacturer

This has been discussed here moderately but I can't find a definitive answer. I'm getting OEM-side inlets soon and would like to know which manufacture makes the best inlets as far as:

-Cost (not being a ripoff. Most are in the $200s)

-Durability (they all seem to be made of the same silicone w/ steel)

-Fitment (this is huge. I don't want them shifting and hitting a belt etc. Also, I am using stock DV's, so I want to make sure those fit nicely and I don't have to jerry rig something. I don'tt have a catch can as of now, considering it.)

Equipment- (I'm not spending $200 for them to leave out a $2 clamp or fitting)

Also having a hard time finding install DIYs on YouTube besides the one from Vehicular DIY.
I'm aware of offerings from VRSF, BMS, RB Turbo, VTT, MMP etc.
Sound off on your experiences, especially if you have experience with multiple brands. If there is a post with consensus please link it.
Thanks!

Go with RB turbo inlets, best quality in my opinion. It is the only option that comes with CNC fittings to reattach the Stock DV.

Also he provides fittings to reuse the heater element for the crankcase vent.

+1 they are a little more but they fit great, have CNC fittings for the diverter and heater element. I have installed two other major brand and call tell you the RB's are well worth the extra cost.
