I looked at those before I got my aem intake, for the price and gains I dont think you can beat the aem, I could feel a seat of the pants difference it even gave a better exhaust note

I'm not trying to start a war here, but here are some results from my setup:

Stock tune with K&N Filter in stock box and AirAid Intake Tube:
272 HP and 293 ft/lbs

MTI tune with K&N Filter in stock box and AirAid Intake Tube:
278 HP and 302 ft/lbs.

Updated MTI tune with new K&N conical Filter in Ebay heat shield and AirAid Intake Tube:
297 HP and 317 ft/lbs.

This is a gain of roughly 20 hp and 15 ft/lbs by just getting rid of the stock air box. You would have to tune for it, though.
