I would go with a RAW 3" right now. But in my opinion, wait for the OTT 3" Stainless Steel one to come out here soon. That's what I am doing.

i bought the Rebel about 2 months ago, wish i would have known about OTT's coming out, but it's all good.

OTT is probably the best vendor here.

I have the AEM intake and I love it. I went from the air box mod (w. K&N drop in) to the AEM thinking I wouldn't notice a diff., but it changed the sound of the supercharger and gave me a little more power down low then the air box mod.

I agree that OTT is the best vendor here. Was about to buy a RAW intake, until I heard that OTT was making one. Just waiting now, can't wait till it is available.

Should be in full production soon, done with test fitting and what not.

nut much difference you can just take the GM airbox out
and put a cone filter on it .... the supercharger pulls in air
I like the RAW 3 inch because of the sound !!!
but as per performance not much of a difference between any of them

the major restriction in the stock setup is the box

cone filter 55$ max cold air intake 200$

I only found this out after I bought my intake

I bought an ebay intake and it is exactly the same as my buddys injen. Same bends, same sound same everything. I have never thrown a cel or had any problems with it. The only thing i would reccomend would be to get a different filter. I have an aem dry flow which imo is the best one out their. With this setup you will save a lot of money.
