Default Best Cold Air Intake (CAI) for 3IS?

Hello all,

What do you guys think is the best CAI for the 3is right now?

Currently have a F Sport Intake but would like something that offers more sound and possibly more performance (although I know intakes offer little to none in terms of improvement)

Only requirement I have for the intake is that there must be a heat shield and relatively simple to install (hopefully).

I was looking into Taneda intake but would like more feedback.

Please provide a link to the intake too, if possible.

Thank you!

I've been searching around for these as well. Seems the best "bang-for-the-buck" is the K&N. Only bad is that its polished/chrome. I'd rather have a satin black/dark gray. Im gonna order one and have a friend powdercoat it. I do know that the K&N seems to be the only one with no accordion pieces, which means its all smooth and should flow better.
