pro's and cons?

install, cost & quality thoughts?

What did you get and why?

Thanks

Theyre both great brands. Made of the same materials. I bought the hps ones but i have dealt with z1 and everything they make is quality.

Word of advice, save your money and get a cold air intake.
I bought maf tubes and drop ins only to end up purchasing a cai months later. AAM ftw!

I have the red HPS ones. They definitely needed to be cut at the breathers by like half their length.

I heard Z1 at least revised their own tubes, but are tougher to install. Upside is there are options for Z1's own breather hoses.

On some days I feel like I could've lived with a CAI. Pipe dream would've been a more refined short-ram, or something that would just poke past the engine bay without need for removing the bumper. I've actually been meaning to look into the Stillen G2 a bit more closely as for a short-ram, it looks well designed...though I may be just paying for looks.
