The AFE = HOT AIR INTAKE. Trust us there is this big thing trying to get our money back...anyways. The best option is to get the BMC filter/RPI scoop that we have in stock. Also, we do have the RPI single sided exhaust as well. You will be gaining about 10-12WHP if you do both. I will PM you with some more info. Thank you.

well i have Afe intake....
and i just took it out because i wanted to try if there is differnce.... well all im going to say is.....
i like afe better. Car performs better and i guess it is cold here right now so it is sucking up cold air instead of hot air. after i took it off, my engine was lagging a little bit... and my throttle was not stable.... it was going 1000rpm and then suddenly dropped to 500rpm... it actually suck my engine down because ideling was really low. I always had this problem with stock intake box but not with afe...
dealer is checking why it is doing it....
