AEM CAI, I personally have had great success with them. I've had them in my previous cars including my current boosted TL.
but that's just me.... good luck.

AEM CAI ftw... on a TL, that's arguably your best option... especially if you want both the noise and hp gain

CT Icebox isn't available for the 3GTL, and it's questionable if it ever will be.

The other 3 are an aluminum pipe , with a filter on the end. Folks here will argue thier butt dyno says one is better than the other, but there's no back to back comparisons to support any of these claims.

Go with the best value, or your favorite "brand name", but there won't be any significant gains from one over the other.

I stilllike my Fujita. Fujita's engineer used to work fo Injen, so they're almost the same. I like the polished aluminum and the neat filter.

I like AEM, I used to have it on my car... but now I have Injen again

Don't get me wrong I like Injen too, but to choose between the two I would have to say AEM

no matter which of the three you get your gonna want the AEM dryflow filter, so you may as well just get the AEM to begin with.

I went with the Fujita as well and have no regrets, cheaper than the AEM and a quality Intake kit.

They are all great intakes.

On a side note I don't think Comptech is every going to release an Icebox for the TL. They even took it off their new products page.

no oiling of the filter required, better filter media
