Generally the main differences between the sundry of Air Intake kits are:

-- Build quality
-- Whether or not the intake requires any cutting.
-- Whether or not the intake is just a replacement filter or replacement filter, coupler, and air bridge.

If you can pick up a decent intake for under $75 I would go for it.

Cheers,

Mark

The others are proven performers, this one may not be. However, it is a nice looking air filter. Looks like the K&N twin cone filters.

75 is a good price, but I still believe you get what you pay for...and as he said this is not really proven HP wise
