You could search a little. just type in AEM or Injen and read!

I think AEM or Injen are top notch. Even the ICEMAN intake is good, but it looks kinda ugly IMO. Injen produces slightly higher numbers and the filter element is under the passenger side headlight. AEM's CAI has it's filter right under the battery. That's the short version.

we are just welcomeing u with some pics. i have the injen sri. which stands for short ram air. i love the intake. it doesnt give u but maybe 1 or 2 hp but the sound is to die for. i would get either the aem or injen intake. if u are looking for a cold air intake i would get the injen bc it actually goes outside the engine bay to get the cold air. the aem doesnt. if u want a sri intake either the aem or injen will do. hope this helps.

If you have a 5speed I suggest AEM cold air. AEM does not make cold airs for automatics. Injen however makes Colad air for both 5speed adn automatic. The cold air generates a lil more power at the wheels and they both sound about the same...
I kno ppl will bug u about being a n3wb, But u should really search before hand. It helps!

Yep, I'd go with the injen or aem in cai form. You will notice the difference. The sound is lovely but not too good for your gas tank. Don't think, just get it and you'll love it.

Once I stopped doggin the car so much, my gas mileage went back to normal. My car only had like a 1,000 miles on it when I put the cai and exhaust on so I can't really say. However, I get 34-35mpg consistently. It does take the ecu a little time to get used to the cai but everything returns back to normal after that adjustment period.

INJEN CAI! it sounds really aggressive, but you might not get what you expect in HP gains. the gas mpg doesn't suffer much, i still manage to get about 30+ mpg.
