Quick intake question..

What qualities makes an intake system good?
Will non brand name intake systems be good for the car still?

If cost is an issue, just get the JWT pop charger. It's cheap and everyone and their mom has it, including me. You'll be happy with it

If its a short ram without a heat shield, it does more harm than good. If its a cold air, its fine.

Both short ram with heat shield and Cold air intakes produce similer gains, but cold air intakes you have to worry about water injestion if it rains.

...And decreased suction at the filter due to longer piping...
