Default intake confusion?????

Newbie questions. I keep reading about the different intakes. Air raid, killer bee ,Vare ram . I know some have an open air filter and some do not. I know this has been asked enough , but please tell me what makes them different, or which is best. I know when I had my porsche, I had K&N and it screwed my MAF sensor up. I went back to stock. Any advice?.

You're wasting your money unless you buy one that pulls from outside the engine compartment.

Look at the Bpp Vortex before you make any decisions. Pulls lots of air from outside the engine compartment, great quality, looks great and is backed up with great service. Just my 2 cents. I've owned Vararam and their is no comparison when it comes to quality.

I've had the BPP Vortex & also a Vararam. They're argueably the two best out there. Both of them pull outside air in and in my case both made a noticable performance improvement.

And, to para goats, it could be that you're just wasting your money. Period. You decide.
