you probably will get about 500 "seach it" replies, but also you might not get this opinion, STOCK with K&N + z tube. Most cone air intakes even the ones with heatsheild suffers from heat soak and loses its useability. So to get a better idea....SEARCH IT.

go with injen...Injen = quality...sounds awesome too. Be sure you get the cold air intake by injen and not the short ram, unless you are plan on doing some ghetto heat sheilds.

The air flow through the engine bay while driving is very efficient, and the heatsheild from the popcharger and especially the Stillen box really make a difference. Also the shorter piping should have a better throttle response. In theory, the a short ram with an effecient heat sheild will out perform any long piping cold air induction intake system. But no one is really going feel the difference from a pony or two from a 300hp car

i seem to recall this being true. or at least real close in numbers. so it really comes down to what you want to see sitting there when you open your hood.

Unless you're looking for a different sound, leave it stock. Modded intake HP gains aren't worth chasing. A good driver with a stock ride can smoke an average guy with a truck full of bolt ons.

Fact.
