Best intake in my opinion is the Honker. Haven't seen anything to dispute that.

Biggest bang for the buck would probably be the Vararam. Seen them go for pretty cheap these days.

Go with either a Vararam or Calloway.
Vararam is cheaper and has more verified performance results.
Calloway is more expensive but construction is nicer and has CARB #.

Of the ones you've listed, the Honker:

- it's a true CAI
- it has a huge filter element
- It has an OEM look once installed.
