Easily this. Don't get sucked into the CAI long tube hype. Past 25 mph, all they do is create a longer intake path, more turbulence and they all use oil filters that will gum up fast and require cleaning(and potentially affect MAF sensors).

Short ram filters stay cleaner, longer, enabling a dry filter to do what it does best...FLOW MORE.

I dropped power on a dyno with moderate cfm blowing at the engine bay when i swapped to gen 3's. I sold them(gen 3) and kept my R2Cs until this past week, TT install very soon so didnt need them.

Oh one thing, they are loud as **** IMO.some love it, some hate it. NO CELs, all performance, no BS. Takes 5 mins to clean filters and back to fresh install performance....can't say that about anything else.

Quality is as good as anything else. If I wanted something different I would try HKS racing sunctions....$$$ tho for little(if any) gains. More of a show piece or JDM swag.
