Intake kits

Do you guys know who makes a good intake kit, I am looking to spend around $300-400 but I don't want one of those foam filters I want the K/n style Filter. I keep looking at kits but they are all with the foam filters. Any help would be nice. Thanks guys.

Ohh, I have the Downpipe and the RacingBeat exhaust on the car now if that changes anything.

HKS is who uses the foam element.... Well, who's "known" for it anyway.

Why are you wanting to spend that much for an intake? There's not that much to buy that would even be NEAR that price.....

You buy one of these and any filter you want (KN or AEM)....

Now you have yourself an intake for $100 that's just as good as anything on the market.

I would recomend www.rx7.com (Rotary Performance). All the parts they sell are top notch in quality and performance. I wouldn't hesitate to buy anything from them.

cool air intakes are stupid and pointless. they give you MAYBE 1 hp gain.

A bit? Blanket statements saying they are "pointless" is a more than "a bit". Well said none the less.

Sometimes adding 1hp is easier than dropping 11lbs...from the car or driver for that matter
