Question HKS Intake???

I was curious what the difference is between the HKS with the green filters, and the more expensive (490$) RS or JDM HKS intake with polished pipes and yellow filters?? Besides appearence is there any performance difference? Are you happy with this intake? Can I utilize a custom heat shield so it uses colder air?

The Racing Suction comes with polished alum/SS piping, the normal kit reuses the stock flexible intake piping. Probably little difference other than that.

If you are going to go through all the trouble of trying to fab up some kind of heat shield, why don't you just buy a box-style intake in the first place?

The good thing about the HKS RS is that it turns out instead of in. It will help when trying to clear larger SMIC's or FMIC piping.

You can always just to hard pipes and K&N filters. It will be just as effective as all the rest.
