Intake? I'd say a Fast. If you want an Inlet, then Vararam, Honker, or an Xcelerator.

No doubt about it. Go for the Callaway Honker for a cold air inlet. An extremly well made part that looks and fits like factory and performs as advertised. You can't go wrong ,believe me. As far as the manifold it's a FAST. NO

Glenn is right, the FAST intake is the only one to consider. No one else makes an intake with the gains of the FAST.

The other guys seem to think you're asking about an air cleaner housing. If you actually are, then any of them that supply ambient air to the engine, and all of the name ones do, will work as well as any other.

I would prefer the VARARAM and then get the TB & INTAKE ported .
Most ported INTAKES are about on par with the FAST. You will save a bunch of money.

Vortex. Same performance as Vararam and way better quality and looks.

I looked at it this way:

Street/Twisties-

Callaway Honker and ported TB and intake manifold(cheaper but outstanding mods). Perfect for me.

Drag Strip/Open Road-

Vararam and ported Fast(more $s and more power at speed).
