f all them... save the money buy the k and n intake, take off the vfad and the plastic under it... and your done... all for 50 bucks shipped to your house... use teh other 200 bucks on .... 3/4 of a payment on sway bars, or endlinks, or whatever else you can buy or want for 200 bucks

K&N and AEM/MS are both going to be loud and get you about the same power. Only big difference is when cleaning these intakes, you don't need to remove the front bumper to clean or install the K&N

The REVi is just too quiet though. If you're looking for the complete package. LOUDNESS, POWER, COST and EASE OF CLEANING. I would stick with the stock airbox.
Loudness - Remove the VFAD and the 2 dividers inside in airbox.
Power - Cut the air inlet to a larger diameter and add a K&N drop in.
Cold air - add the RB air duct.
Cost - under $200 and will provide about the same gains as the more expensive units.

If I was to buy an intake it would be the Revi with the air duct.
I have the air duct with an Apexi filter modded to the stock air box.
If it was open air it adds quite a bit of noise above 5 k rpms.
Realistically it will take 2 - 3 hours to install the Revi with duct.
