The amsoil one I have is http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/detail.aspx?ID=6880 which doesn't look anything like the one in the test. And the cleaning method described by amsoil: http://www.amsoil.com/StoreFront/eaa.aspxin the test is different than the one the guy used in his test.
I've had the K&N and oiling the thing is a b!tch, I always worry about not putting enough oil on the filter and too much so that it gets onto the MAF.

But the stillen sounds nice throughout the RPM's right? I just ordered mine on friday.

The Stillen has a more even sound...almost like when you hear a turbo spooling just much more subtle of course. The AEM just sounds mean at 4000rpm and higher. I think it is because of all that metal piping which must resonate at a more audible pitch than the plastic of the Stillen set up.

long ram? There's no such thing buddy. There is short ram, which is the stillen, poop charger, etc. and there is the cold air intake setup (nismo, k&N (discontinued), AEM, etc.). Short ram does nothing and there are pleanty of threads with people that have had problems with the poop charger. Pay the extra money for the full CAI.

You can run with the popcharger installed in the stillen hi-flow air box.

Get the Stillen intake and their z-tube combo. It looks so oem when you pop the hood.
