Someone has the sxth element intake? Any errors code or something?

We have 3 options:

1. Banks power intake
2. Stillen intake
3. Sxth Element intake

Any info good or bad about any one of those intake...

Banks - quiet, big oiled filter. Less complete parts catalogue compared to SXTH, cagey marketing team

Stillen - throws codes

SXTH - no codes, more sound, dry filter. More complete parts catalogue available (catback exhaust, intercooler, charge pipes, turbo inlet pipe, and more)

I sold my SXTH to get the Banks and regret it every time I go for a drive. It’s so quiet it might as well be stock (yes, even with the snorkel plug removed) and the cocky/rude marketing team gives me heartburn.

Yes I'm thinking in SXTH or banks because I read few things about the power so... But I'm like 70% already for the SXTH.

THANKS

I have had the Banks since they were first released almost a year now, I liked it when I first installed it and I still like it now.

Yes I read like it's a really good quality and good power between the other ones so let's see...
Thanks 🔥

if your looking for performance, I believe there is a thread by CAM tuning showing that they all pretty much perform the same. Banks just put out a video showing their intake made more power, while bashing all other leading competitors. I'd personally go with an independent tester who had nothing bad to say about any of the product. just my opinion. if your looking for sound I am very happy my sixth intake. only bad thing is now it is a gas hog... not because of the intake directly but now I have a lead foot cause I always want to hear the turbo spool and flutter.
