if by best you mean more hp then it is definately between the 2 intakes you mentioned but if you decide to go with the joez get a drop in filter as well. if you want lots of sound from your intake go with the fujita.

There are no solid intakes for our cars, as our engines produce a lot of heat for some reason and retains in the engine compartment. IMO I love the AFE you should check them out. Very similar to the K&N.

from personal experience, i would recommend f-sport because first of all, its oem, and second you get a new pipe, box, and filter.

judging by what ive read on the forums, joe z would be the best option between your two choices because it has constantly proven itself as a worthy product.

F-sport is just an OEM version of the joez IMO. Its a pipe with a drop in filter, so you might as well get a joez and save. And people are getting check engine lights cause of the MAF sensor, thats why AFE has a dry filter now.

The F-Sport is almost 400 and I could get the Fujita for less than 200.

I think it's not "it will come up" but "it may come up"

Or a Joe Z for barely more than $100 and it'll retain the stock airbox instead of sucking in HOT air like most of the aftermarket choices.

I have a fujita intake and its been great, no CEL issues and sounds great. Its also been dyno proven to increase hp, may not be a whole lot but it does increase hp. Usually though an intake will be more for sound and looks.
