Magnum FORCE Intake System vs. Momentum Pro 5R

Hey guys,

I was just wondering which you think is better from AFE, I am going to buy a air intake real soon. I live in Lebanon where its around 30C/90F in the summer (Day) and 20C/68F + (Night) and winter is pretty normal, daytime around 20C/68F and night time temps around 16C/60F. Which filter which better match my environment in your opinion? any feedback is appreciated.

I like the open one better. It sounds better, according to aFe it makes more power, and I like the way it looks better. And once moving the car is taking in ambient temperature air either way, so there no temperature penalty. With the box I'd be concerned about it restricting the amount of air coming in.

Open intakes are noisy! I had the BMS intake and it was just too much for me. I switched to the afe Momentum intake and it still sounds good but not as much noise passengers don't think my car is messed up now.

Me too. Not one for noise normally, but hearing the turbo spooling is just awesome.

hearing the sound of the turbo spool (even on stock) brings the fear of god into the hearts of the people ahead of you haha

I have the magnum AFE and I enjoy it. It's quite audible inside the car.
