What the general consensus on which is the best value out there?

 

Stock is best... The aftermarket ones have only shown minuscule (if any) improvement in airflow and little to no improvement in power... But if your looking for "Underhood Bling" then its just a matter of your personal taste...

 

The stock intake is 'cold air'. With a few exceptions, most A/M intakes are warmer-air-than-stock.

Save your money.

 

^^what they said.

 

you don't need any, leave the air intake alone, i have a 2009 150, the stock intakes are plenty big enough.

 

After the drone I had with my 08 CAI I really really really like how quiet my new 2010 is,today on a 50- 60 mph highway trip I got 11 liters per 100 klicks average 25.45 mpg and just turned 2,000 klicks on the new girl,least to say I'm a happy camper

 

Haven't we visited this topic before? ??? Keep it stock and don't change it. Period.

 

Really?

Yeah - I'd say we're

 

Another misconception. Even the stock intakes suck up hot air at idle or in heavy traffic. The factory does not do enough to get the intake out and away from the engine heat. I have seen my intake air temp at over 160 degrees during the summer after just a short few minutes of idle time. The difference in stock and aftermarket is the amount of time it takes to cool down the air to equal the outside air temp. Once at speed, there is no difference in the air temp on either. As observed on the last 6 vehicles I have owned with a scanguage installed.

 

Once at speed, I didn't spend an extra $400 for no difference though.
