Default JoeZ Intake, F-Sport, or K&N?

I am looking at getting an intake for my car was wondering which one. The F-sport is a little more expensive so I was wondering. Also which one is louder? The K&N Typhoon gives you more horsepower so does that make it louder/deeper?

It does not give you more hp. That's BS from K&Ns marketing dept.

The Joe Z and F-sport should give the same max gain for an intake- the Joe Z is cheaper, the F-sport is legal in CA.

The K&N is louder since it's a cone filter, but louder != more power.

OK so the best buy is probably a JoeZ? Will I hear a difference in the engine?

Can you run a JoeZ pipe with a F-Sport box? Where can I find a box?

Difference in what?

the pipe makes the performance difference.

the holes make up much of the sound difference.

Soulclap. Aftermarket intake is only good for sound but I recommend you should keep Joez intake and sell the F Sport to me hehehe.

I have the F-sport intake, but I would be willing to trade for JoeZ if it was in the Blue color.

They are the same thing...just a metal piece of tubing.

Why is the K&N not a good intake?


Quick Reply: JoeZ Intake, F-Sport, or K&N?
