Ok now i've searched high and low even called some vendors on the forum for quotes, but i would like to get a general feel for what you guys think is the best intake for the coupe and why? I was thinking about getting the stillen setup with the enclosed air box attachement and z tube...I want some sound but dont want to jeapoardize the filter..what the verdict guys???

JWT POPCHARGER>>>>>
Stillen INTAKE>>>>>>> LOOKING TO ADD A Z TUBE with whicever filter
i end up with.
etc.....

Thanks in advance

 

You're gonna get a lot of opinions on which intake setup is best. Unfortunately, there is no clear-cut answer.

Don't forget the rev-up airbox w/drop in filter.

 

i have an 03 no revup...wouldnt be do anything for me for what i heard...im basically looking for some nice throaty sound i guess because i am adding the md 5/16" copper iso thermal as well..but want a nice sound coming from the intake...even though eventually when i get my hks exhaust itll sound mean as well. Thanks bro

If all you want is sound, get a popcharger and call it a day.

true

 

from my research....the r2c filter assembly with a cf/plastic ztube would be the best performing and still have the sound you want.

 

plastic/carbon = no heat sink... so for performance id stay away from the metals..

metals look alot cleaner...

personally.. id go for something along the lines of whats in the link above.. (straight tube right to filter, with the backing of the stock air box...) but if possible.. go with plastic/carbon or wrap it up in heatwrap..

goodluck.

(i love how im stock and i give advice on aftermarket parts)

but im just that good.

 

Popcharger for sound. Everyone always ask if im turbo'ed because of the whistle.

 

^ is the whistle really THAT profound?
I mean i hear people talking about the sound but is it really that loud to be mistaken as a BOV?

 

searched high and low? what other answers do you expect from this thread without more specific questions? there are a million threads out there with people just arguing for different intakes and saying actually how they are worthless performance wise.

 

that takeda filter looks nice as hell but itll still have heatsoak?...its polished is anyone using this one?

 

Well I guess I should have been more specific. I mean I found threads on certain intakes but from peoples perspective who maybe have had one and then switched out with another. I did put out two examples and was kinda looking for which one would be chosen over the other. My fault asking a question in such a broad subject, just trying to get the right input before I throw some money down and in the long run I wanna know it was money well spent.

 

In choosing between jwt and stillen it depends on what you want/are willing to give up. JWT you get more sound but you get more "heatsoak". Stillen is the opposite. It really depends on what you choose to be more important.

 

The R2C is my recommendation as well. Best flowing filter on the market and seals against the hood to help cut down on heat soak. And yes, I have a metal intake tube but it's just for bling!
