What intakes do you recommend under $300?

Really, come on man there is already a thread regarding this very subject.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. CAI's are worthless. Save your money and use it to buy mods you'll actually notice, like a new mid-pipe, 4.10's, or a handheld tuner.

Whatever you get, make sure it's not metal. Metal intakes retain a lot of heat, whereas plastic does not and will provide a cooler air charge.

JLT is a serious intake. It's freaking enormous, seriously. It's also about as good as they come.

I like my K&N as well, but the tube is nothing compared to the JLT.
