did my homework...
ok so i been reasarching here and there for an intake... origionally I wanted K&N cuz its a new design, and i figured it would sound nice, then i heard that the MS was better, so i found out pleanty of reasons why to pick this one, THEN people started telling me to get the RB intake... so I was like, himm... this one has its good strong points too.... then today i read some more on it and i found out that they will all give you about no gain and it basiclly boils down to looks and sound.
Now, ive heard the the RB is real quiet and smooth, you get good power from a stop, on the go, and at high peak. Then i started to think to myself.. if they all work about the same... im paying for sound and looks... now for looks, im not gonna be driving around with my hood open, and I wont have enough mods to go to shows and pop my hood so looks isnt a big deal, yet. Performance, there all about the same, so it leaves sound.... if i get the revi, it will sound smooth, still. But why would I wanna pay to sound the same, look stock, and give me hardly any performance? soo..... Im pretty much in the middle of RB and K&N. What do you guys feel? Or have a completley missed something?
thanks

Spend the cabbage on something that does its purpose. The stock engine sounds great as it is, I don't know why it would be worth $500 to change how it sounds.

the thing there is, I want Sound. and i heard RB is real quiet compared to the Typhoon. Im really leaning towards Typhoon... Im looking for "real" reasons why not to. Gas Milage of 2-3 MPG isnt anything, Im spending gas money regardless. (and gas prices are going down :D )
So if I want sound....
and they all wont give me THAT much power...
and I think the Typhoon looks nice.....
... why should I get the RB?
(this is a honest question, I want to know why...)
thanks.

^^even bigger money wasting for no gains =_=
I have the K&N on my car, I like it a lot, it's not too terribly loud, it was a super easy install, it was fairly well priced, and it looks cool under the hood.

... I dont have that kind of money right now...
How much are Turbo's w/ installation?
