They are all similar when it comes to claimed benefits. In the end it came down to which one looked better - Carbonio is leagues better looking than anything else out there at the moment :cool:

If you want something loud, get the type of intake which does away with the stock engine cover. Then be prepared for rough gravel sounds and raised eyebrows if you have a warranty issue.

there may be a cold induction feed underneath the cone filter, very simular to K&N Filter. If it hasnt got a cold feed, would be a waste of money, will if its like a K&N, will make the induction sound abit deeper.
