hey im looking to buy a CAI and i dont know what kind to get. Two of my friends that have intakes have Injen and they say that they are good, but another one of my friends that has a lot of stuff done to his car, says that AEM is the best. So if you guys could help me out that would be great. Thanks a lot.

umm...With the AEM you dont have to do any cutting unless you want to install the By-pass valve (Which personally I think is useless).

I got the AEM, just because I have heard nothing but good things about their intakes. I am sure Injen is a good company also, but I am sticking with AEM.

yah i have done a search on intakes in all the forums and what ive seen is that AEM is better for proformance. Im leaning for a AEM but you guys tell me what i sould get:

5spd, and live in california.

because i hear AEM is best with 5 spd and Injen is best with auto but i want a real answer. So if you guys can help me out that would be cool, because im getting nothing but confused.!!! AHHH. thanks

Get AEM without a bypass valve....you dont need it unless you plan on going submarining.

well i'm waiting for my injen SRI in the mail (hopefully next week). but from everything i heard it seem slike AEM or Injen is just prefference, but I could be wrong. lol if you think about it, they are "just" bent pipes with an air filter at the end, so I doubt there is a REAL BIG difference between the AEM or Injen. good luck with yer choice!

Short RAM: Easy install for both
CAI: AEM - in the engine; Injen - needs bumper removal for installation
I believe they give the same gain (if any).
