This! I have an 11 MS3 and I put the K&N Typhoon intake, I went with that intake because it has the block off plates to help keep "some" of the hot engine air out of the intake VS a lot of the intakes which sit inside the engine bay hence, drawing hot air into the intake.

The inlet pipe will give you a better sound and that is it, plenty have dynoed and not seen any gains.
