lude-smakt, where do you live? How strict are your smog laws? that's another important aspect when choosing a named brand vs ebay intakes (as mentioned above). I know Aem / injen are smog legal.

If budget is concerned, an easy way around it is have someone make you an aem or injen sticker and a carb sticker. My buddy works at a vynle shop and hes makes my buddies who have turboed cars stickers to put on under the hood. any intake will look at like any other so cops won't know.

here's my friend's ghetto intake job on his lude. We droped a filter at the end.
