Hey Angel,

In my time I've had a bunch of intake systems. BA XR6T stock system/BAXR6T stock with K&N, SS Inductions growler, FG F6 standard box, FG F6 with K&N, BPR CAI and the process West street airbox.

For value, looks and sound it's the PW CAI hands down. Perfect fit, looks beautiful and the induction roar is much louder than the others I've tried. It is quite loud so make sure you'd be happy with a very 'whooshy' setup. Another thing to not is that the PW kit fits perfectly. Super easy to install, sits flush and tight in the engine bay and looks beautiful. Some can be really difficult to fit properly...

Metal based CAI's tend to be louder than any of the plastic ones I've tried, regardless of panel/pod filter setup. I have heard good things about the KPM/Herrod boxes but they strike me as more of an OEM, factory appearance box - They make exceptional products, but I can only vouch for what I've used. Not badmouthing or putting down any products.

My FG F6 had the PW airbox and the muffler delete kit and boy did she sing under throttle. I'd imagine it would be different with the smaller turbo but the PW kit is the only CAI I'd ever consider getting again.

Get the PW one and if you don't like it, I'll buy it off you. Will be getting a G6ET fairly soon :spoton:

Cheers, PM me if you'd like any other info.

the Herrod looks good, is really well made, simple to fit, and sounds bloody awesome on my F6 (

). Cutting the stock intake looks like a decent idea if you wanna spend $0, but you'd wanna be mindful of the hot air in the engine bay; the Herrod draws air from the snorkel and from the bottom/front of the box, but it's protected from the hot air on the engine side.
