Some really, really good info, comparisons and cost analysis in the engine tech threads here.
Short version of the story is though that, dollar for dollar, the real value for these cars is in a straight drop in high flow.
There are of course, those that will argue that statement (some will argue anything) but the threads really do show that the stock intake is actually very effective and a drop in can improve it even more.
Now if you want to bling up your engine compartment or are thinking of FI then there may be better choices.
I for one, am very happy with the improvement that I got out of my simple TRD (sorry Shutter) drop in filter.
