Post Need help deciding what cold air intake to get or any advise what to do

i have an 07 scion tC and i want to get a cold air intake for it but im having a tough time deciding on what to do. i am looking at an afe pro dry and a fujita cold air and have no idea what to get. ino that the afe is plastic which plastic doesnt absorb the heat as much and has a heat shield which is nice but the fujita intake goes all the way down in the fender to get cooler air. another thing is that does the afe have a good seal with the tc's because i heard with the xb's the afe doesnt seal as well. and last i live in nebraska which the weather is questionable and could rain or snow randomly, so i dont no what intake would be best and any advise would be awesome!

If you get fujita put an AEM bypass valve on it. Hydro lock is bad.

You mean the last few years.

But seriously, damn near all the intakes are the same and they will all give you about the exact same gain.

And you will not feel the gain. It is extremely minimal. They just sound cool. I swear there needs to be a thread with a HUGE title saying "BEFORE YOU ASK WHICH CAI/SRI IS BETTER..."
