Rep Power: 343 probably get better respond in products and parts...
anyway, I dont think InJen's SRI or CAI are CARB exempt... I think they're in the process of getting the CARB numbers, but I'm not too sure.
But my SRI isn't exempt, and I dont remember the CAI being exempt...
so yeah, its not CARB legal. I suppose if a police officer wants to, he can write you up for a fix-it ticket.

Rep Power: 0 Yeah, it's proven that Injen is better than AEM. Saw dynos showing that Injen was only like 1-2 horses better, but also in a different RPM zone. AEM showed gains at above 4000 rpms, and Injen showed more gains from 1000-4000 RPMS. So I guess it's basically if you're looking for gains below or above 4000 in which an intake decision should be made....I'm happy with my AEM though. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 I don't think there is really any performance differences between the two, if there is it's probably not noticeable. Heck the intakes only get about 3more hp if your lucky. (realistically 1-2hp) I think it's gonna depend upon preference and the AEM valve piece.

Rep Power: 0 I agree with whaler-
But what's also extremely noteworthy is the person or persons who conducted the dynoz or even posted them. Not being cynical or anything, but faking a dyno is not exactly a difficult task.
Just thought I'd share; i've heard of this from other sources, and it makes total sense. Bias is omnipresent.
Peace!
