Question Air Intakes...Which is best?

Ok, I just got me a much better paying job last week at the vet clinic and can finally afford to start modding my car more. I already have the 2 1/4'' inch cat-back exhuast and wanna go for an intake next. I'm looking at the Dragon intakes because o couple of my friends that have had them in the past says they are the loudest and you can feel a change in the power. One of them has a short ram Dragon intake on his SVT Contour that sounds mean for that being the only mod he has done to it. So what do yall think, go with the Dragon intake or a different kind?

search, but anyways dragon intakes are not a good choice. Some people have gotten the foam filter sucked down the intake piping. Go with AEM, Injen, or K&N. Hell get a obx intak, they are cheap but work fine.

K&N makes the best short ram style intake. Injen and AEM makes the best cold air intakes for "performance."

I have a Injen race division cold air intake and it looks great, sounds great in the high rpms, and i can definitely feel a big difference in the power of my car. Only problem is that you hav to partly remove the bumper to put the huge *** air filter in its appropriate spot.

I had an AEM CAI and switched to the K & N FIPK II.
I had better results with the K & N FIPK II = .2 - .3 seconds off my 1/4 mile time.
Sounds deeper too!

Notice that there's no loss of low end. There's even a tiny gain.
