So no to a k&n intake? What makes another brand better? I've looked at the k&n Typhoon and found an Injen air intake on ebay for $300.
And please don't say search, I just want a few opinions from you guys that have installed an after market intake.

Thanks for saying something other than "NO" or "SEARCH". Searching these forums can take forever to find pertinent information. I thought community forums were meant for communicating and asking questions anyway, not yelling at people to search. I have already done some research as you suggest, and I've found that there isn't much of a HP or MPG gain from an after market intake system, but I've seen so many pics of them installed and most people's sig say that they've installed one, so what gives? If there's no benefit why does every 8 enthusiast install one?

Because the cool sound of an intake can do wonders for the butt dyno. This forum is not here to spoon feed people the same info, over, over, and over. there is great info here already, you just have to search for it. If you do, and then you still have questions then we are glad to help usually. You would also not be smart to take other members recommendations without doing proper research.

The better ones can give a little big of a gain and see higher (still small) gains in conjunction with other mods and tuning.

I don't have one, I run the stock box becuase its the best. I have every single mod you can get for the car, or a variation of it and have only recently bought an AEM intake becuase it will work best for my turbo.
People like them cause they sound cool and have given up on any hopes of making the car fast.
In summary, I am the ****.

Great! I really appreciate all the input. I had done my research and that's why I was confused as to why people bothered with a new intake. Now I know. I'll be sticking with the stock box as well. Actually having a difficult time finding anything to mod other than appearance in interior lol

So everything left is personal preference or really big dollar values.
