Front mount intakes

So I am currently planning on buying a front mount intake and am stuck between these three intakes:
MAD intake
RK Tunes intake
Project Gamma Intake

What is everyone’s experience on these intakes and preferences of one over the other?

I'll allow others to chime in but here are the obvious point differences below.

PG is going to have the smallest filters of the bunch and the highest price tag.

Our intake and the rk are going to be very similar. Only real difference you will notice is the material the intake itself as one is made of silicon and the other coated aluminum.

With the smaller filters are you saying in theory it doesn’t have the same flow as your intake?

MAD is the most popular front mount intake we offer. If you like loud intakes, that's the way to go

I haven't flow tested them but based on the size and shape I can tell it has less surface area than our inverted cone filter that is 5x6.

Honestly their price is insane. I wouldn't even consider it because of that imo.

Just in case you want to see what all is involved with the installation of front mount intakes, here is my install of Project Gamma.

In short, install was a PITA - but as time went on, it was one of my favorite mods.
