Best type of intake to get
i tried searching, i also called a few shops and so on. which do u guys think is the best intake. i got a reserve on the trust airnix intake, but i have heard from some i would be better off with a closed box intake like the m2. thing is i love the way the airnix nooks. anyways i know there are tons of types of intake out there and i was wondering which one u guys would reccomend.
still not finished....

Many people use "hot-air" style open intakes without problems but I wouldn't. I will either mod my stock box or (more likely) go with the M2, rx7fashion, or CWR "cold air" intake.
Stay away from the foam filter intakes. They don't filter worth a **** and will degrade over time. If you want an open style intake, get a Pettit, Apexi, or Blitz.

The best open filters are K&N, APex (best), and blitz. DON'T Get Greddy AIrinx. I had it in my MR2 Turbo and it sucked in dirt after a while. the HKS one is just okay. They don't even flow that well really.
Karen, is that PVC piping I see as part of your intake? If it is, be carefull as that stuff literally becomes soft as rubber at 130F +.
You can get an open element if you can route/duct cold air to it as well.

So it would be ok to use the apex even if i didnt have any kind of cold air duct going towards it. But it might help if i had one of those air duct head lights, right?

I really liked my Apexi, but it doesn't fit with the PFS SMIC, so I ended up switching to the PFS cold air box. it is a nice piece, but I don't look forward to the eventuality of cleaning the filters... I think that is going to be an all day job.
