Best intake?

Hi guys, I been doing some research on air intakes and the more info I gather the more Im confused on which to go with. I been looking at the air raid intake, the greddy and everything else that has been popping up. Im looking for a quick install with a good gain on hp and little to no tuning hopefully lol Any suggestions?

Don't buy any imo, waste more gas just for more noise, and ultimately gain a few 5-7hp (you probably don't even feel the gain) for 200 bucks. No thank you, I'll keep that cash for something else. Drop in Air Filter probably better route, CAI having issue if you haven't search the forum.

Intakes don't make more than 2-3 whp until you get to higher power numbers (190whp+)

A drop in with out a tune is the best route honestly.

If you plan to get a tune some day. Snag the aFe.

Wait for a good intake to hit the market. None have.

Some LOOK good and sound alright but nothing great has really touched down. The stock configuration is pretty good. I just use an Apexi drop-in filter.

If you plan on getting it tuned, the AFE/Takeda should be your best bet as suggested before

For all intents and purposes, the GReddy version of the AFe/Takeda is identical, right?
