KN FIPK!

I've had it on my car for a week now, the sound is awesome. I also live in Florida, and with the FIPK I don't have to worry whenever I'm driving in the rain.

I have FIPK and it is pretty great overall. Really the only downside is the looks, but how often do you pop open your hood anyway?

I just installed my K&N FIPK and I love it. Got mine on eBay for $205 shipped.

Damn I guess i'm the lone wolf here that says go for the AEM. I have this installed on my 04 fitment is very nice and the gains are very noticeable ( at least to me) over the stock unit. But i'll def agree with the guys that already posted up if you live where it rains a lot i'd go with the K&N....HYDROLOCK FTMFL!

I have no experience with the Fujita.

The way I see it, everyone out there other than AEM just makes a pipe and puts a cone filter on the end of it and call it a day. AEM actually put some effort into the way air is sent into the intake and they showed it makes more power than their first gen intake. They have a diagram somewhere. What I'm getting to is anything with a little thought put into it is at least 1hp better than just a pipe.

the K&N gets my vote between the 2 you were looking into. the KN has a great sound at WOT + less chance of hydrolock.

theres alot of ebay intakes that look like the AEM also but their dryflow filter is great.

I would buy the K&N and put a dryflow filter on it though.
