the common thing i'm hearing is that the Apexi intake is the best filtering thus being one of the better ones out there.
the HKS Super Mega Flow intake flows the best but filters the worst. if it was my choice, i'd go with the Apexi.

heh...selfish plug!!! 
I If I were to pick and choose parts I would say and AZ-tech CAI with an apexi filter.
Apexi is regarded as the best but most expesive, K&N also makes very good airfilters and they are inexpensive.

"- Extracts of this article have been transcribed from a Japanese article featured in Revspeed Magazine, August 1999.
- The original test was based upon the results found when using filters specifically made to fit the Toyota Supra. However, the filtration is unlikely to differ, as all the filtration materials used are the same for every model of car."
"It is questionable how accurate the original source of data is, as HKS are proven to sell more induction kits than any one of the others featured in the test, and yet there induction kit rates as the worst kit in the test. This suggests that either HKS rely upon their brand name to sell their 'poorly' manufactured air filters, or that the original Japanese test was nothing more than a PR stunt to promote the lesser known equipment. HKS and Blitz continue to be the best selling induction kits in the UK, and are used by Middlehursts, Hiteq and Abbey Motorsport as their first choice when the induction kit modification is carried out.

"So the question still stands, "Which Induction Kit is the best?". Well, if you can trust the original source of data, then the clear winner is the Apexi Power Intake. For those of you that are more sceptical, the choice is probably more to do with the cosmetic looks of the induction kit, as the performance gains are very much the same"

Santiago's design is quite interesting. Infact i use a similar setup, only my filter is located where my air muffler and Washer bottle use to be located.
