does the AEM CAI has a better desing than the injen CAI?
it seems that the filter sittin in the bumper all enclosed doesnt get as much air as the AEM..

my aem short ram noises after 3k rpm. sounds nice but sacraficed my low end for high end. still a good investment over exhaust cuz cops are @ssholes here and pull u over for anything they can get you for.

yup...i raced a four door he had injen cai and exhuast...all i've got right now is cat back exhuast. we raced from about a 50 mph roll...down shifted to 3rd and easily pulled on him. d17's are the worst engines ever to do anything to w/o turbo's/swaps

I used to think differently, but thats actually the truth.

I dont see why people dog the D17 so much. I had basic bolt ons and was running low 15s and thats without doing anything to the ignition, with stock cam gear, and hadnt putten the racing crank pulley on. Oh and to mention its a DX motor. With those other couple things and a different clutch and flywheel the car would run 14s easy. I think thats just as good if not better than D16s.

P.S. that 1/4 time was also on 20+lb 17 inch wheels.

The isn't too much difference between the two. It comes down to a matter of which one you think looks better. HP gains are marginal with either.

My car is an 01 Coupe DX. Mods were as follows at the time of that run. AEM CAI, DC sports ceramic header, Random Technology cat., Skunk2 Catback exhaust (exhaust system was converted to ex stuff), Unorthodox Racing Alternator and Power Steering Pulley (didnt have crank pulley put on), Neuspeed short shift adapter, Yokohoma Parada Spec 2 tires (very good grip on the drag strip), Venom 400 module. The interior was stripped and the wheels were some heavy 17in ADR's. I plan on getting a V2 intake, installing the crank pulley, getting an aem cam gear, stage 3 clutch, ACT 12lb flywheel, and nology hot wires. That will put the car in 14s NA. I live in Louisiana and we have a pretty good track out here. When it gets cold its really awesome cause its somewhat humid down here so the air is extra thick. Makes for really fast times compared to anywhere else.

The injen design is better, the filter is beside the radiator rather than behind it like AEMs.... its also shielded from all the heat of the engine bay and there's plenty of air in the bumper (there's several vents in the splash guard as well as air coming through the lower mouth of the bumper. The problem with it is that the fit leaves something to be desired. Either way, they don't do a whole hell of a lot.

It was a year or two ago so I will have to search for it. If I remember correctly it ran 15.4 at 90mph. D17A1 responds way better to mods because its not pushed to the max from the factory like the D17A2 is. That is why the V2 intake makes 2 times more power on the dx than the ex. Although I would like to experiment with a D17A1 block and D17A2 head. would be a weird mini-me setup of the same gen motors

So which one is it? 14's (bs) or 15.4 (bs). I hate to not believe you but..you've gotta have pics for some credit. Oh yeah...so lemmie ask you this. Did you burn out ur tires before you ran on the track?

If you knew how to read maybe you could understand. I said the car ran 15.4 with the mod list, and that with the other things that I talked about after that installed the car could run 14s. Yes I did burn out, but not majorly becuase those tires arent drag radials and burning out alot doesnt help on street tires. My car is a DX and it was stripped out except for the dash and driver seat when I ran that time with the top list of mods. I ran that time about 1.5 to 2 years ago. I you cant run 15.4s then you dont have a good mods or you just dont know how to drive. Please also note that my exhaust wasnt DX it was all for an EX model which makes alot more flow. If you really take the time and look at the things I had installed you'll understand that mid 15s wouldnt have been that daunting of a task for the car. Here is my cardomain page if you wanna see my car. http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/532398

If you dont want to believe me thats fine, but mid 15s in a 7th gen is not that hard to do as long as your a good driver and you have enough mods.
Also I will soon be redoing all my cars performance and when I am done I will post the times.
