Realistically, an CAI would be the most effective when it comes to power per dollar ratio. But some people don't like the aesthetics of a CAI and prefer the bling of the GruppeM, each to their own I suppose.

If your going for mugen coz of the brand than dont forget to get the mugen grill to make the most of the intake.. but its only for bling i guess.

I have a fujita CAI installed now and i am very happy with it. However i am a bit curious about the significant improvement in terms of power by using gruppem. i believe that is the most talked/popular topic in this thread.:)

no way i'd spend $1.2k for an intake. particularly the fitment issue of the Gruppe M with EP3 (i must add Gruppe M on some cars are good tho, eg Euro, M3 etc)

as Nepolian said, CAI is the best gain/value. i got Fujita becos it was $100 cheaper than Injen at the time. and $399 vs $1200, i can't justify 3x the cost for CF bling + a few kw here and there. plus i don't mind the hole in the engine bay.

would love to find a way to run a pipe for the CAI tho. it seems quite difficult.
