Intake Brands, Which is better?

Ok, I have a Nakayama or Importech CAI, and I know it works very well. Ive had it for a while, but Im just wondering if Injen or AEM would be alot better. And if so, how much better would it be? I know alot of people have Injen and AEM, so thats why Im asking all yall out there

Seaching will help you out a lot.

What I have read it is basicly up to peference. Both AEM and Injen are the mosth knowned/respected names and they will only give you little HP gains. Good luck.

AEM CAI is dynoed with the most HP since I last saw. But that is at like 8 to 10 hp. So No it won't be much different then what you got for the most part.

no, the RSX gets 20.? with an AEM CAI. It was tested in SCC Mag. Last month along with other intakes for it. The AEM CAI gained the most HP.

I got import tech too, and I dont see why AEM or one of those brand name intakes would be that much better. it's all piping! How much can one pipe be better than another? Just get a good filter.

AEM is CARB exempt, but if you're not in california, yes, all piping is the same and it would depend more on the filter.

Piping makes a difference also if its mandrel bent or crush bent. Mandrel is better.

Does anyone have the gains on an Injen? Did that magazine compare the sound of each intake? Is one quieter than the other? Lastly, do you have to worry about water flooding your intake on a Injen CAI? Thanks.
