Scotty III or AFE with Torgue tube?

[Phaeton]

What would you go with and why?



I'm leaning towards the Scotty but am clueless to tell you the truth.



Thanks

There is an AFE now with an integrated torque tube. It is called Stage 2. Depending where you get it, it is about the same price as getting the Stage 1 and the torque tube. The Stage 2 has a cover for the box whereas the Stage 1 looks like it seals to the hood.



The Scotty III is a bit cheaper but uses the stock intake tubing.



Basically the concept is the same in both of them. The air into the box is from the same place - the stock inlet plus open to the front which is non-stock. Scotty calls theirs a Ram Air but I doubt it gets pressurized much. Piers sells Scotty III with AFE filters if you want or a foam filter.



I'm getting and AFE Stage 2 because I think it looks better, I don't need a separate torque tube, and servicing and inspecting the filter should be easier than on the Scotty. genosgarage.com has a good price on the AFE.
