Smile Awesome SHORT RAM INTAKE!!!

Hi,

I've just bought a new 2005 WRX Sedan and I have been thinking of getting a new Short Ram Intake for the car. Does anyone has any suggestions as to which one I should pick out of the list below?

1. APEX-i Power Intake (PN 507-F004)
2. Greddy Airinx (PN 12561006)
3. Blitz SUS Power (PN 26133)
4. HKS Super Mega (PN 70004-BF002)

I am looking for one that would give me the most added horsepower and great sound...But if there's a even better Short Ram Intake out there other than from the list above, additional comments are always welcome!

Thanks!

i hear a new intake can mess up the car if your running stock, is that true? i would think it would make the turbo louder and give it more airflow...

exactly wat he said... its really only make a small increase in power using an aftermarket intake... the money you spend on an intake could be saved up and put towards a good tuning.. that will result in much more horsepower, and most importantly, safer than runing to LEAN with a CAI or a SRI...
