FA20club or Perrin. I use the aFe which does perform well, but my main concern is living in Texas and it gets pretty hot here in the summer. The idle heat under the hood could affect the intake some.

I might end up changing mine to the Perrin as I like the design, and sits out of the hood in the bumper.

So far, a lot of the intakes are around the same hp/tq, ~3-4 whp or tq give or take. Until these are tuned, you won't see large gains, but I would think the true cold air designs will excel the most.

If you plan on tuning, Perrin has a "tune only" intake coming out that is showing upwards of 14 whp on their dyno. Could be very interesting.
