both have minimal gains really...I htink esthetically they add something to the engine bay....BMC would be better choice from what I hear

Neither filters as well as stock paper and given basically no gain in performance, I'd not bother. Also cleaning it and drying it means you can't drive the car for at least a day unless you get a new one each time or have two.

Don't waste your time...

From what almost everyone says, no. The intake would change the sound for sure. Fabspeed and some others swear by the intake and chip and exhaust change. Others say that it adds next to nothing. I live 1 hour from fabspeed and sometimes I think I should drive there and check out their stuff.
