Hey guys just wondering, what is a good air intake brand that is around two hundred dollars. I found one that is B&B supercharger intake?

I think the stock intake system is the best thing out there. I wouldn't change it.

Agree the others will not give any performance boost and may actually decrese performance as they usually have no heat shield.

the one in the link looks bootleg anyway. I wouldn't trust any performance site selling a lil electric supercharger or a vortex lol. I would def have to see the specific product, where is sits int he engine bay and dyno sheets.

soo i have the b&b short air intake.. not the supercharger bs.. NO sound difference,NO power gains.. just did it for looks..you will need to trim the lower part of your engine cover to make the cone filters fit.. for any1 who thinks the filters are sucking in hot air thats BS.. cone filters are wrapped in a heat sheild 360 degrees, and also come with an aditional square heat sheild.. they sit directly behind the grille and suck in outside air just like the stock set up, only difference is the filters are located at the begining of the intake and not in the airbox.. anyway im not looking to argue, this is just info for the OP and any1 else interested in the intake..check out my photos in my album, my opinion its quite expensive, dont waste your $$.. but i do go to car shows and leave my hood open, mixes well with a painted engine cover and strut bar.. people drool over my engine bay, i have trophies to back that up.. good luck
