GruppeM rep Intake or Simota CF intake?

I have a 08 328i sedan. I'm in the dilema of choosing between GruppeM rep intake and a Simota CF intake. I heard that the GruppeM Rep drones during highway driving and uphill.

I want a CAI that sounds good, low tone, and not very loud from inside the car w/ windows up. Can anyone help me make a decision on which CAI is best for me? I've also heard and watched a video in youtube on how the simota cf sounds like, my friend says it sounds like a jet..

thanks

For the price, I really think the Simota is more than worth it. It offers all the performance advantages of the GruppeM at a fraction of the cost. You certainly can't go wrong with it.

Around 1000$ for the 335i intake, and around $500.00 for the Non-Turbo Intake.
