If you scroll to the bottom of his page you will notice he eventually went with the stillen intake system. I would say its probably the best idea considering he did also say he was having some idling problems with the homemade intake.

I am personally waiting for AEM to see what they have to offer for the 07 although it doesnt seem to be coming anytime soon.

I'd wait till other manufacturers come out with theirs so you have more to compare. Stillen was first to make them available, and they are charging a premium for it.

I'm not sure if they are ready for shipping yet but AEM already has set a price, and its more than stillen.

if you wait for a little bit Fujita is suppose to release theirs pretty soon. I believe average price i'm seing it go for is between 300-325. Not bad considering its 2 intakes, not 1.

personally i'm waiting to see what Injen comes out with.

I actually spoke with him. He had idling problems. Go stillen, I did and it sounds pretty sweet.

I'm not really a fan of short-ram airs. (opinion)

I'm not really sure what the aem intake needs to do to justify the $200 more than the fujita, but how much different could the two be?

I too would like to see what else comes out (mainly Injen and JWT) but as of now it looks like I'm gonna be going with the fujita.
