Intakes
There seems to be a big debate among our cars about intakes being worth the money or not.
What's your opinion?
What intake setup did you go with?

I'm sure most of what I felt was from the tune.

The stock intake on our cars is extremely efficient. The gains you feel come from the associated tune, not the new tube. I went with a JLT, mostly for looks, and GH's gave me a good deal.

The C&L is the best, the others are so-so. But it also does have a lot to do with the tune.

i've heard this as well.
The first items i added to my car were a JLT with a BBR email tune and i definitely felt a good difference. But it's very possible that the tune (throttle response, cam timing, etc) were the real difference makers.
