which is the best intake for the 04+ TL?

and which one gives the most gain?

 

I would love to see an Intake comparison as was done on Clubrsx.com. Injen won that comparison, however, the tests were conducted back in 2001...times may have changed. I thout I somewhere on the web another comparison test and AEM won...so who knows?

 

If it means anything to you, most of the people that I personally know from the import scene in Los Angeles, California choose Injen as their brand of intake. I've got the Injen intake on my TL and I absolutely love it. The sound it makes on WOT is so irresistable that I find myself making more and more frequent trips to the gasoline station though.

 

I've got the Injen RD CAI on my RSX Type S and it's been great! However, I'd like to see more Dyno comparisons for the TL before I make a choice.

 

i dont think this guys owns a thrid gen bc i was under the impression that CT dosnt make headers for the 04+

 

Which one is more expensive...AEM or INJEN?????

 

I think injen costs more, though I am not sure since I stopped looking for cold air intakes when i got my K&N. I think all cold air intakes will sound the same on the 04/05 TL's so its pretty much whichever one costs less also. I highly doubt there are huge differences, or noticeable differences between intake brands.

 

If that is the case then the AEM is a better deal I think. I think the AEM is at least $70 bucks cheaper. The difference can go towards your installation cost.

 

Injen

 

I would go with AEM also because its the least expensive.

 

Do you all know if I put the AEM Intake in my 2004 TL - will it void out the warranty??? I read somewhere on these forums that one guy had an intake installed on his TL and everytime he took his car to the dealership - he would put the stock intake on it??? Is that due to that it will void out the warranty or what?

 

I was wondering about it myself, so I called the service dept. where I bought my 05 TL. They told me that it would only effect the warranty if it directly effected/ caused the problem. So, for example, if you flood the engine w/ water, they would not cover that. Otherwise, they said I would be fine.

I hope that helps, Mark.

 

Thanks Mark. I think to be on the safe side, i will call up my dealership also and just ensure. Sometimes you never know.

 

Has anyone on this forum done before and after dyno tests on any aftermarket CAI installed on the 3g TL ?
