i was in the same situation, i wanted the aFe, but after reading around and actually looking into the stock airbox, it is a really solid design. it is a ram air intake. just get a drop in filter. i like the stock because it is a closed design and will be more efficient rather than sucking the hot air off the engine block.

but between the two, aFe for sure

aFe put their filters on the top of the exhaust system, while Injen put thier filters on the top and away from the engine bay as far as possible. Both still sucking hot air if car not moving, but seams like Injen is a better design intake. I had Injen intake installed and no regret.

IMHO Afe is the best looking because it covers up the ugly intake manifold.

No they didn't. The exhaust is on the other side of the engine.

Neither. Stay stock untill you change to a different turbo/turbos. The money is better spent on other mods.
