Spoon snorkel with Spoon air filter if your gonna throw around ARC kind of $$$ IMO. Nowhere near the bling factor, of course, but def. better airflow and filtering and more constant,cool air will enter your intake manifold and therefore your engine...

If not, just stick with a top brand, non-JDM, cool air intake system IMO. I had an Injen CAI on mine with GREAT sound and had no problems!
all that can be said for anyone who has ever run a K&N.

its cheap, good, load sound and will not hydrolock

75% of all after market filters use filter oil.

I just did the K&N FIPK. Love it, def could feel plenty more power and the car seems to pick up at a lower RPM, closer to 5,000rpm. Sounds perfect in my mind, although I just got my S2k this past weekend so I am very new to these cars, but very happy with my decision.

^^ Looks good. I've decided not to go FI so I will be getting the PW: JDM carbon/kevlar intake in the coming months.

I have the Fujita, which I love, but will admit it makes me nervous in heavy rains. I have the "flower pot" mod on it so that water doesnt drip down on top of the filter from the drain holes in the fender, but it still doesnt inspire confidence. Personally, I'm thinking of switching to the K&N FIPK, but I will admit that nothing beats the sound of the Fujita. It just sounds mean at WOT. It is a metal intake tube and is prone to heat soak, but it is pulling in the coolest air possible from the passenger side wheel well. Again, someday I will break down and just get the K&N so I dont have to be so freaked out in the rain.
