JWT w/Z tube or Injen CAI

From what i have read i have different opinions on which one provides better performance results some say the CAI others say the pop chargers but i think the results vary on the cars not all give the same results but i want to see if which one i could get for my 04 6mt coupe. I am looking for the one that gives the best performance i dont really care about the noise it makes
thanks for the help

Best buy with best results, Fjuita intake. Comes with everything needed to install. Only part that takes time is the tiny screws that holds the OE sensor on. Check out our MARKETPLACE under misc vendor and buy from Mr Wong, very reasonable prices....

If you are looking for performance from an intake you're barking up the wrong tree unless you add other breathing mods followed by an ECU reflash (tune). Intake manufacturers are famous for promoting substantial gains, but in the real world they produce almost none.

this is true. The only thing it does is it dresses up your engine bay and adds more growl to the engine.

intakes are all show, they just make the engine bay look pretty and add a cool sound.

........And who doesn't like her to growl? Seriously, once you install the spacer and cat-back exhaust the intake will be more valuable....cool air in unrestricted!

I have the Z tube with my stock rev up airbox. I then got the 5/16 spacer and a cat back exhaust. love the sound and it pulls nicely. the z tube can be found on the forums for around $50. Again, it all depends on if you want to spend close to $200 for a suction noise lol.

lol, i like the r2c but your claims are outrageous

most power? i think the vast majority of people agrees that if you want pure performance just stick with/or get a revup airbox

best sound? ya that is just your opinion

most functional? in what way possibly?

least maintenance/problems? what you don't have to clean the filters ever? what other maintenance do you do to intakes lool
