Dude u can post numbers all day but you aint convincing me to spend 1000 dollars on a intake.Yeah you don’t research anything do you? There is plenty of data out there that says your wrong...
Even my drag Evo 9 didnt have a 1000 dollar intake.
I’m not trying to convince you to do anything, all I’m saying is the intake is proven to provide good gains and it’s also a bing factor for the engine bay, in my opinion it’s a win win if you have the money to spend on it or any other intake that gives you the benifits of both
It's never a waste man...you get what you pay for, and I'm not saying less expensive intakes are bad. They are all good (except a few garbage intakes that are completely open to the engine bay). I don't go home and open my hood immediately, but I do take comfort in know its there. Obviously I didn't but it show right cause people can't really see it.
I want it but i'm really not a fan of the hks foam filters at all .... so idk.
same here man, lol. I put my AFE up for sale just yesterday
While I was taking the AFE off, I took a look at the stock intercooler hoses that HKS makes replacements for...I think if I end up liking this HKS intake, I'll get their intercooler hoses also. Those stock ones do seem fragile.
the bottom is just like the stock box.
i'm keeping the AFE until I decide. The stock intake just doesn't give me enough noise lol.
Thank you someone with a brain and perspectiveIt's never a waste man...you get what you pay for, and I'm not saying less expensive intakes are bad.

Simple, this is EXOTIC stuff! People can go to Men's Warehouse and buy a suit, but why are there still people buying $4k + suits from Gucci, D&G, Armani, etc....Some people just like the finer thing in life, but not necessary show it.
It's never a waste if you can afford it, enjoy it, and maybe every once in a while crack jokes about it being expensive!
My suggestion: Buy the PRL stage 1 for $130. It's a cheap mod. If you don't like it, then sell it, recover $50.
I'll wait out on the HKS. I just sold my AFE intake...it was never loud enough for me, lol. I think the eventuri was pretty loud if memory serves correct (and assuming it's loud while driving). The AFE wasn't that noticeable.
yeah, although, makes me wonder if the HKS will be louder, lol. I took the exhaust off, put my stock one back on...and for the hell of it, put a custom intake on, lol...watching the temps right now and I haven't seen it go up that much at all.
