Buy a high quality turbo inlet pipe. As some of them when manufactured can have dimples on the inside which is not a big deal but, if we are comparing turbo inlet pipes might be worth discussing.
Do not buy any of the overpriced stuff. It serves no better purpose than the cheaper ones.
I bought the USP Motorsports Air Intake because, it was cheap but had a very simple straight through design and even the filter housing and filter look good as well. I was trying to find a cheap version of the eventuri design they have in the UK and it led me to USP Motorsports. I flipped the housing and orientation of the filter and I have to say the sound and the performance is noticeable. Other people disagree but I am very OCD about a lot of things and mods are one of them. Intakes are very much worth it but, the 500-700 dollar ones are not. I absolutely despise the fact that EVERYTHING has to be made out of carbon fiber. I do not care about carbon fiber I just want something that works if it is in the performance department. Aesthetics are a whole other thing and usually I find carbon fiber inserts in the interior, small spoilers, side canards, splitters, front splitters, etc... to be very cringe and ricer-esque.
But HEY, that's just me.
Also, these other aftermarket air intakes block air that would normally go to the oil cooler so they can re direct it to the air intake. Now it has not been proven to be a big deal but, if the engineers engineered it that way from stock then there surely has to be a reason behind it...
Just my .02 as I have researched this topic heavily.
