Guys, seriously....they're all the same!!! It's the same piece of metal, bending at the same angle, and approximately the same length. When it comes right down to it, the filter you use on the end of it is what will give you an "edge" over any of the others. You think that K&N's little ram-air attachment does you the slightest amount of good? Have you seen the size of the inlet at the front of the car? You get more cool air coming up from the underside of the car than you will from that goofy little gap in the front!

I bought the Fujita for several reasons:1) Unlike the Injen, the Fujita angles the MAF away from the hood at a less awkward angle2) I had the option of powdercoating it black (mmmm...sexxay!)3) It was cheap, cheap, cheap!

As for sound, once again they'll all be the same. That is, until Racingline comes out with their CF version which'll probably sound a little more mellow and less metallic.

Sorry for the rant, guys...I'm not intending this to come out bitchy. I'm just tired and cranky and haven't exercised in three days because I hurt my back while hacking away at the ice on my sidewalk because the City of Calgary is too shortsighted to actually bring the snowplows out when they're needed! /rant
