Which intake gets the most hp?
Anyone have any suggestion for which intake has the most hp gain? Or would an cat back bolt on exhaust be better first?

Air intake will do a lot more for less money than a cat back. Are you talking air intake or intake manifold? Most will say that Vararam is the best air intake but you pay quite a bit more for a small gain over other ones like the Halltech Stinger or Blackwing. It's also harder to install. Do a search and you'll find 2000 posts that answer this question.

if you want results on the track go with the vararam. it wont look great on a dyno but the tenths it cuts off you're et will speak for themselves.

I just installed the vararam. I swear I can feel a difference at low speeds but once you get over 40 you can really tell a difference.
If your talking about intake maifolds then get the LSX

I installed the Vararam on my 2001. It was not hard, it just took a little time. My quarter mile went from a 13.70 to a 13.11. I really recommend it.
