Which intake is best?
Hey guys, what's the best intake for me? I had one on my Civic (first car) 4 years back and really liked the sound and increased hp. When looking at one for this car, i'm confused as to which one to get. autocarparts.com has 2 listed, a AEM and Injen. The AEM has a air bypass valve. What is this used for and do I need it?
Also is there a noticeable difference in having the intake on this car or not?
What are some other easy, lower cost, & effective performance upgrades I can do?
Thanks inadvance for any help!

Ok the bypass valve from AEM protects your car from sucking in any water into your engine, thus destroying it. the $40-$45 bucks is well worth it compared to 8 k for getting the whole engine from the dealer. I bought the AEM CAI in blue, with the bypass valve and I love it. Its real noticeable when driving, prob just like your Civic.
AEM hands down.

i second Shawn's Xephyr response...this design is kickass and almost impossible to have anything go wrong with it...it's too bad that era has come and gone 
maybe we'll get a Limited Ed. version in gold or something 
couple red racing stripes down the pipe on a white background maybe must have Xephyr's signature's on it with a small product # plaque

Thanks for all the advise guys! Looks like AEM it is!
I'm going to try and find a local place first before I buy it online. Anybody know a place on the web that has the best price on these?
Thanks again!
