i have a K&N and it has worked great for me. Out of the ones that i looked at it seemed to be the simplest and it got good reviews by others.

AFE is reputable enough... the xB SRI is a relatively new addition.
I don't know of anyone who's used one yet.
I will say that due to the design, the air it takes in will be warmer than any of the other options.

Fujita SRI has the valve cover vent hose in the original location- AFTER the mass airflow sensor. Most other intakes put it before which increases the likely hood of having the sensor fouled by oil.

I'm with Burst - the Fujita rocks. Three weeks so far in every kind of driving condition, and nothing but good performance. Hell, they even send you an extra filter!

I actually like the looks of that one. Might have tried it if it'd been out when I got my Fujita. Install looks quick and easy since it just replaces the top of the stock box. Also real easy to swap back if you need to take it to the dealer and think they'd give you a hard time for having an intake. And easy to service/inspect the filter.

I have the Fujita, plus I won their monthly contest they just started, Fujita SRI from wesellcarparts, 202.00, cash from contest, 200.00, thats $2.00 for the intake, what a sweet deal.

Yeah, I would have tried it out too... possibly still will.

I prefer the K&N Typhoon. Installed it and have no regrets ( it's also CARB Approved)

After looking at the "Blitz" I decided to cut the stock box,I cut everything but the sides enough to hold it up leaving 2 mounting bolt locations.
I was after a "WAI" for beter fuel economy.And you cant tell unless you look real close to see that it is modified.
