Question Air intake kit?

I'm curious to know which air intake kit I should buy. Based on everyone experience which kit has better gains, increased blower noise etc. etc.
Let me know what you guys think

I have had great success, and so did MM&FF with the JL Ram Air kit. The stage II is a nice setup and easy to install.

I just installed the JL kit.
Looks good and sounds great. The s/c whine is much more noticable along with a seat-o-the pants improvement as well.

I am concerned about the power loss due to 200+ degree engine bay air vs. external cold air that air raid and stock breathes in. I used to flip breathers on my old 350 trucks and would loose power due to extreme heat.?? Thanks.

If you go with an Airaid, I have one with the Hypertech filter off of my just sold L.

The JL has an opening in the fender well where cold air comes in.
The filter is open ended too.
For more a rem air can be incorporated.
