Air Intakes

I'm looking into investing into a air intake but I'm debating between a CT Cold Air Box or a AEM cold Air Intake. What you guys think?

CT Air Box will gain slightly more hp but CAI sounds much better - depends whats your goal

IMHO, go with the Ice Box. Its quiet and looks stock, will give you the same gains as the AEM, and you wont have to worry about deep puddles.

if you like the OEM setup, go with CT for the build quality and OEM look, if you want a more aggressive sound and cleaner looking engine bay go with the AEM CAI, you can always use a pre filter and a bypass valve if you're concerned with hydro-locking.

I have the AEM CAI with only the pre filter, and haven't had any problems and I like the sound of it.

Depends on what you mean by "cleaner". The stock look with the CT airbox is pretty clean. But getting the AEM will look more aggressive.

X2 on the Ice Box...looks great and safer, here in Miami, the AEM would suck up water in no time!
