AEM or ICE MAN??? Please Help

Hey I'm just starting to get into buying all the add on's for my car. I have worked on tons of cars before but never buing aftermarket parts for them. I have read tons of reviews on these 2 companies and I was wondering which one you guys think is better? Thanks

I had AEM CAI and I think it works great. Iceman might give you a bit more HP but it sure does look like ****.
Plus i'm not sure just how much HP it'll give anyways. Didn't someone here have iceman installed already??

I don't know if anyone has it installed yet, but if they do, I would definitely like to know how the intake is.
And yeh, they kinda look like crap, but they are made for Go, not Show (ICEMAN). I want to see if they work on the
autos too...An ICEMAN rep told me they would, but you know sales reps, they don't know their *** from a hole
in the ground : ) The ICEMAN will probably give better gains over the AEM, because the AEM isn't a true cold air per-say.
The AEM filter is still inside the engine bay...the ICEMAN will put it under the headlight and out of the heat filled
engine compartment.

If anyone has this intake, Please let us know if it rocks or if it cheese....Thanks !!

Oh yeh, if I had room, I would definitely go for the AEM......but if the ICEMAN puts the filter
outside the engine bay, I will go for that one. If not I will have to go custom or get the Injen CAI

Ice man gives you more HP and less torque, AEM gives you more torque and less HP but thats my opinion.
i would go for ICEMAN!

the only other thing I am worried about with the CAI is the hydrolock beacuse of water. Is the AEM all one piece or are you able to take part of it out when it rains?? Thank you for all your guy's responses.
