When I got mine done I asked my installer. I called 4 different places and all for had something different to recommend. I don't think the performance will be that different between the brands. To my knowledge no one had dynoed the different brands back to back. Probably because their a pain to install/uninstall. I went with VTT because I found a new used set at a great price and my installed said they fit better and a little easier to install. Good luck.

My tuner told me that the question should be about getting the aluminium inlets vs silicone he strongly recommended that the aluminium inlets be used as they generate more power. I've heard good things about the MMP ones. But seem like such a hassle to install.

We were the 2nd N54 Silicone High Flow Inlet offering on the market and began shipping these in 10/2015. Over the course of the past 2.5 years we have sold many of these with great success, literally no issues to date.

Additionally the constant feedback we hear is that they offer superior fitment and have much better rigidity hosing than others on the market, by those hands on types who have done multiple installations in this platform. We have had many customers buy other offerings, then remove them only to buy our own as well. Many who also buy other offerings realize they do not appreciate the lack of adapters nor the provided cheap clamping hardware and also try to buy our own as well.

The RB N54 High Inlets use very high quality hardware on top of the silicone. We use high grade 316ss hosing clamps (with tails that don't allow the clamps to distort or dig into the hose), in-house CNC'd T6061 PTC adapter and true Plug and Play diverter bungs (pre-equipped with high heat caps and double-snap clamps for BOV) anodized black as in attached picture. If we were to substitute the hardware for the typical stuff (or lack thereof) in the competitive offerings, we could knock prices down quite a large margin; but doing as such would not allow us to deliver the highest quality product with the finest levels of fit and finish.

It is not always about saving a couple bucks that is most important to some, while instead having the best is; and this is the customer base we have always been aiming to please.
