Im looking ot buy a CAI, but i am not sure which one to get. I have basically gotten it down to Injen or AEM. Which one do you guys prefer? I want the intake that makes the best and loudest sound, because i love hearing my car scream. I really dont expect ot see hp improvement numbers like the ones AEM claims to get, its a shame no one has dynoed wit hthe AEM intake. I think isaw a bout about Injen gaining a few HP from the intake. So, which intake do you guys think i should get?

BTW, can you guys find sites that sell Injen/AEM?

 

Aem

 

aem

 

AEM gives u a beautiful sounding engine :-) go with AEM...ive got mine im just waiting to put it in....

 

aem has a bigger tubing...go with that..even though i got injen myself and i like it a lot

 

yea...the injen looked nice and it sounded great too...i like ur setup...how was the meet in philly?

 

I have a CAI on my '02 Maxima that I absolutely love. I like the fact that it is pretty mild when just crusing along or accelerating slowly, but when you nail the gas or rev of up the engine, the intake really sounds sweet and barks quite a bit. Are either of these intakes like that at all?

Also, are these things that I might be able to install on my own? I installed my current CAI as I am very handy (but still not a mechanic).

Can you also give me an idea of price for the kits?

I did a few search looking for other threads with this information to no avail.

Thanks.

 

The first car I installed a CAI was a 2000 Si and went with AEM, nice fit and hardware, later on I bought a 2002 RSX-S and went with Injen because they provided a different winshield washer bottle instead of relocating te exisiting one, then I bought my wife a 2003 Element and bought her an Injen CAI whch was easy to install, now tell met hat the 2004 and 2005's have the same engine configuration ( engine position) and I will consider another Injen..........but I have to ask my Boss............honey!!!

 

why is everybody all up on aem. i myself have an injen but its not like im saying "get injen just cause i have it!"

i dont think there is a reason to choose one or the other until we have hard facts on which one is better.

dyno on both? in comparable conditions?
