maybe you should look into the fujita since not really too many people have it,and if its the same design as injen its a no brainer.............


BTW I have Ice Box w/k&N filter,I'm very happy w/this set up.It all really will come down to sound.....AEM,Injen Aftermarket very loud sound,Ice Box =More of a stock sound..........Same gains really to be had with all

i think its pretty much the cost of the unit that sets one apart from another.

That pretty much says it all. All depends on your budget. But we're all after the same thing-awesome sound and MORE power.

Bottom line AEM, dyno chart says better HP increase than any competitor ( not that it means diddley ) but you have something to back your statement and IMHO they've been around and have making intakes for other cars for years now.
Injen comes in 2nd since you can not move up the Oxigen Sensor to the tube.....

I remember reading about that a while back. Something about you get a colder reading in the AEM if you more the sensor to another spot...anyone got a link to that thread. I dont have a clue what to search under..

Actually if you look at both dynos in comparison the FUJITA makes more power.



AEM CAI Dyno

AEM lists stock peak horsepower at 229.6, which is high (they must use a Mustang dyno) and 245.6 peak horsepower with AEM CAI. FUJITA lists stock peak horsepower at 205.57 and 223.04 peak horsepower with FUJITA CAI. So the FUJITA appears to make the same power if not more.

My most humble apologies, I didn't even know that Fujita existed....sorry... ..but how long has Fujita been around out of curiousity, it wasn't available when I was looking for it, Injen only had it then only for the automatics....does Fujita make them for the 6M as I see that dyno was done on an AUTOMATIC....thanks

Fujita is made by one of the former owners of injen...he broke off and started his own new company
This is what I've heard of fujita.

it's a 6mt vs 5at thing. not Mustang. different dynos. references only. AEM gained as high as 19hp at one point (not peak tho). they are very close i'd say.
