Best Intake Setup Under 1K?
Hey,
So I am looking into getting a new intake setup but am not sure which setup to go with. There are so many to choose from. I can go with a snorkel, CAI, or a Short Ram Intake (Did I miss anything? And ITBs are out of the question. ) I'm looking to mainly increase throttle response with decent HP and Torque gains and have a budget up to 1K. Any and all suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks.

as stated, they all give you minimal gains.... you could modify the OEM airbox, get a drop in k&n filter or something like that, and get a snorkel or even better an AUT cooling plate, and that would run you about 200-250 bucks for an efficient set up.

K&N FIPK. It's like $200-something shipped off ebay.
I wouldn't spend anywhere remotely close to a grand on an intake. It's a tube with a filter on the end, I don't see the value in turning it into rocket science or a JDM bling contest. It's just the first step, there are plenty of components behind that (throttle, manifold, head/intake ports, valves, camshafts) that are a whole lot more influential on what the engine does.

S2K 4 ME-
I was checking out the Fujita F5 a little while ago and it looks pretty good. The price is just right too. I will put it into considerartion, thanks.
D Loke-
Took a look at the AUT cooling plate. Quality looks good and concept seems logical with a decent price. I will also put this option into consideration, thanks.

I have heard many great things about the K&N FIPK and was sold on it until I heard that the sound can overpower the sound of an HKS Hi-Power exhaust. I was kind of turned off at that point. Thanks for the input though.
Any other suggestions?
