Probably the cheapest one
The documented effects are mostly sound and up to 8 hp

Cyba Scoops were $41.00 Shipped K&N filter was a gift but listed at $52.00 on Amazon, I am sure there are cheaper. You can also use either the dry or oiled AFE filters. I prefer oiled for performance as I never really off road my sedan and have always had success with K&N in other cars. You need torx bits in a couple sizes, 22 & 25 I think. A pin puller or flat nose plyers, a flat head screwdriver and a 10mm socket for the scoops and filter. The scoops take less than 5 minutes to do. The filter takes about 15 because you must remove the whole housing from the car. For the charcoal delet, I did something complex and different so just follow the DIY, you will need a rotary tool (dremel) with a cutting bit, sanding ring and buffer to make it look pretty. Make sure to remove the MAF sensor from the housing first and don't touch the element or get it dirty.

Having said that, the last place where you want your intake is low to the ground, A) for dirt, and B) while that's where you see highest (road surface) intake temperatures in summer. |

I dont necessarily see what you are asking?.... All Im saying is that after looking at dyno's and talking to several people who work at my car shop, after what I have seen/heard/felt the PI has been the most impressive for the N/A's. |

Find yourself a gruppe-m replica intake (don't mind the decal) and cut open your hood. You can hear the suuuuucking of air. |
