Re: FWI or ram air intake??
Ram air is a myth below 120mph.
Your intake is sucking warm engine bay air which is bad for performance. A FWI pulls cool air from outside the engine bay.

If you want a true performance intake, get the FWI. If you want to sneak every little MPG or liter/100 km you can from the car, run what you have.
