Cold Air Intake

Cold Air Intake
I have an 08 TL-S. Just got the XLR8 v2 j-pipe but i'm also looking for an intake, preferably a cold air intake but if a short ram will add more horsepower I am open to that. Which intakes are the best for horsepower gain? I know a lot won't be gained but looking for the max. Is AEM the best to go with? Thanks

Most people go with the AEM V2 intake because it has the largest tubing.

Debating between that plastic DIY intake and AEM.

^I have ported and polished runners and 3.2l intake manifold with bored throttle body.
my diy stock intake mod is no match for my intake manifold setup.
It would be ideal for me to go to a 4 inch intake.
save your $200 something dollars plus tax on the AEM intake....
and just do the DIY stock intake mod for now

Sucks that P2R doesn't sell the P&P lower manifold anymore, I'll have to find someone to do the P&P.

You mean removing the velocity stack and adding that end piece to the stock tubing? I thought about it and if I had more time id do it but you still end up with the same stock air filter so same filter area, just a little more noise/growl. I'd rather do it once with a nice single tube and larger area cone filter.

and I mean removing the velocity stack near the battery and relocating it to where the resonator should be(which means resonator is removed)

Mr. Detail
I removed the resonator on my Accord (which appears to be more restrictive than the TL resonator) and ran the tube from the filter box into the fender. Free, has to be less restriction than stock.
FWIW, the same K&N intake for the TL and Accord makes (according to K&N) 7 hp more in the TL and 10 hp more in the Accord so stock the TL does have a better factory intake system.

These CAIs used to cost ~100 bucks back in the day...200-300 now a days is freakin ridiculous.
I want to keep using dry filters, don't like oil based filters such as K&N. I've used them before and on some cars they can mess up the MAF sensor element.

I don't want to waste my money but beyond the performance gains I do want things to look nice aesthetically wise. I'll figure out what to do after the holidays.
