cai for automatic

so i have an 03 lx auto..... i want to get a cold air intake.... i dont want the short ram.. SOO
what do you guys think is better... the injen intake for autos.. or the aem v2 (even tho i know this is pretty much a sri) or is there any other cold airs for autos out there that are any good?? Ive heard that cai give a little more push then the sri... i even read this on the aem website hehe so thats why id rather put my money into a cold air instead, but i want it worth my money!
Others with autos please respond!

Re: cai for automatic

injen for sure.
I have the aem v2, which is really d0pe. I like it over my buddies injen cai that he had on his auto (although I have MT, its the same for the v2).
This better not turn into a "rate your intake thread" check it out, search.

Re: cai for automatic

just go with shortram. since the auto tranny is bigger and bulkier than a standard, fitting the cai wont be easy. i had the injen rd cai in my auto but converted back to short ram because the splash guards cant be bolted back with the bumper. plus i had to shed some blood getting the pipe inbetween the side of the bumper and splash guard.

there is very minimal difference between sri and cai too.

I have an 02 ex auto and I've had an Injen SRI for about 4 years. It was specifically for an auto when I purchased it.

Re: cai for automatic

Re: cai for automatic

fujita makes a perfect fitting cold air for the automatic. injens cold air is a bitch to get in. other than that..no point in cold air. there wont be that OOMPH that a short ram wouldnt have either. same garbage. save the 200 ur gona spend on that and put it towards a shiny new exhaust
