Which Cold Air intake!!
Looking to get a cold air intake for my 6 speed. Everything else is stock (for now). Which one do you suggest for the best results?

i made my own...got a spectre kit at auto zone, one 45 degree bend is all it has. nice conical lifetime filter on the end..all of the parts were included besides a usuable bracket. fabricated one myself, and it was a done deal. the only bitch was the temperature sensor..but after some silicon lube she came out. 65 bucks or so and its unbelieveable what an increase in power i got from JUST the intake before i got the exhaust. I don't worry about blocking it from getting hot air under the hood with any kind of box..HUGE improvement! if you want to just buy one though, banks is the way to go.

ill get pics tomorrow! i had a friend help me who used to do the import thing quite a bit..he drives a niceeee maxima, but he built a sentra SE-R up that can run 11's on a 1/4 mile..he knows his shit, been into it his entire life. he told me we could come up with the same thing in no time, for not much dough..he was RIGHT! its not shielding away hot air but how that works is an opinion, and opinions are like assholes. everybody has one 
with all of the room in there it was the most simple air intake job i've ever seen/done. piece of cake!

I have the Airaid intake and often switch back and forth with the stock air box. I can tell the difference between a paper filter in the stock air box and the Airaid intake, but using a K&N drop in filter in the stock air box I can't tell the difference. if I listen hard enough I could probably perceive a sound difference, and perhaps that's what many are associating with more power.
