If you looking for a big gain on an intake you will need a long tube like the Stillen G3. The AFE drop ins are better then the stock filters and will flow even better if you take out the stock intake tubes and replace them with smooth tubes (like Cobb MAF Tubes).

I was one of the unlucky members that purchased the Takeda Short Ram intake to find out later it did nothing but cause heat soak and making my car run rich (Intake Temps +18-20F over Ambient). A good intake should be +3-10F over ambient temps.

My modified intake with the stock box now produces the same intake temps as the Stillen G3 (+3-10F over ambient) but of course does not flow quite as well from 6000-7500rpm. But it is easy to maintenance and you can put this intake together for $180 - $190 (Cobb Tubes $125.00 + AFE Filters $60.00)!

My Intake Setup (Cut the Takeda Tubes to fit stock box + AFE Drop Ins):
