I'm new to this forum and need some of your opinions
 

I was wondering if the skunk 2 intake is any good if not I'll just go with the greddy?? :thanks::thanks::thanks:

Most will say save money get a drop in filter.

With having a aftermarket CAI myself I can say that your not really going to get much other than bling.

Why not the TRD intake, filter is much larger? This way it retains all your warrenty if you have issues later.

That is what I bought for the exact reasons you posted.

For the record I love it.
In hindsight though I wish I had stayed stock because when I go FI it will have to come out anyways.

Yep, my Kraftwerks SC is making my TRD intake come for sale soon. Just waiting on the funds for the oil cooler.

Grimmspeed intake has a group buy going on. Looks to be one of the best.

$30-40 drop-in panel filter is all you really need unless you're going to do a lot more mods, like a full header-back system, tune, etc. Even with a tune and header-back, I'll be sticking with just a panel filter. No need to have engine bay looking like it's begging for a ticket.

Drop-in filter. FT86SF did a series of dyno tests showing that a drop-in will net nearly the same gains as any of the intake systems on the market for way less money. Throw the drop-in of your choice in there and spend the savings on something the car needs more.

Drop in and call it done. Intakes are a waste of money. Get a tune and a header. Best gains for power

As others have said intakes are generally a waste grimmspeed also did extensive testing showing many actually lose power with the addition of some bad intake systems

The skunk 2 intake is yet to be proven. There are no real independant dynos for it and no indication of how it effects the MAF scaling. A drop in filter as others have said is 95% as good as the good intakes on the market and heaps cheaper. The grimmspeed intake has had a lot of r&d and makes power without changing your AFRs.

Also don't expect big gains from the intake side of the engine. The best NA gains are from a tune and a good header at the moment.
