AEM seems to be the intake of choice but how much better is it really? As of now I have a short ram dragon intake which has the new foam filter but I’m not sure if I should stay with the Weapon*R and get a cold ram air kit or just buy a AEM cold air intake … any comments are appreciated! Please if I can get views from both sides. By the way I have a 3.0 CL

 

Basically, "a tube is a tube". The trick is the filter.

I paid $50 for a generic CAI (off eBay), and bought a K&N filter. Works just as good as any "name brand" intake [and sounds great!].

 

dustbuster's got it right....theres no difference between tubes, youre buying a name....just by generic, live with it till you need a new filter, then get a nice k&n.......

 

Weapon*R tubes are different .. they have like fins in it that helps the air flow

 

You get what you pay for. My opinion and I'm sticking to it.

 

the real question is what's better better ... AEM CAI or the Weapon*R Dragon intake with the Cold Ram Air kit

 

AEM has outperformed every other brand of intake time and again. You can buy others but for CAI's go AEM.

 

How much did you pay for your k&n filter?

 

Since most of you are missing the question...

I think the Weapon R Ram Air is a piece of shit. Look at that winding gutter looking tube thats supposed to give you "ram air." A joke if you ask me. It will cause more air restriction. Just get a normal CAI and call it a day. I also believe in the "you get what you pay for" theory...just look at the results of the dynos. And yes, dustbuster also has a point the filter is the most important...guess thats why AEM comes with a K&N filter

 

i get what i paid for? I spent like $160 on the intake and the cold ram air kit will run like $80 so ..... $240 ... wow that must be the best since the AEM CAI costs just $200

 

Nope

 

I WOULD STICK WITH THE WEAPON-R DRAGON I BELIEVE THE FINS INSIDE THE FILTER MAY MAKE A DIFFERENCE

I believe it was around $55.00.
