I have an AFE and it seems to be a good one. No matter what one you buy it's about 300-500 Cdn funds for a good one.

If you're looking for eye candy, IMHO Airaid looks the best.

If you are looking for performance, Gotts mod and tuner with custom tunes.

I went with the ROUSH ( Same as AIRAID ) and i love it. You will deft notice power gains!! It will give you the most HP out of any other brand ( K&N, AEM, Volant, etc..)

Went with the AEM Brute Force. Throttle response picked up agood bit when I slapped it on but I can't say I noticed any substantial gains
also, check out auto anything.com. Bought mine from there and after discounts and coupon code I only paid around $250

you get about 15 hp gain from the AEM and and 25 hp from the ROUSH (Airaid), thats why i chose it, AEM is still a good brand.

Really???? You don't believe that do you? If you have some cash to throw down use it on a tuner. No and I mean NO intake will give you those kinds of gains.

So it must be true......Not trying to be a dick. Just realistic. No I don't have any dyno numbers to back up my argument so I guess you win.
