Poll: Which CAI to go with???

Which Cold Air Intake would you go with? Opinions, Pros, Cons. List them all. I really want to way the options. Yes I know they all basicly do the same but some perform better than others or are designed different. Choices being from:
AEM
Fujita
Injen
K & N

Don't have any reason, but I say AEM. It does, however, have bigger intake piping than the K & N.

I have the AEM V2 and I am very pleased.
Be advised, the V2 has a larger diameter pipe which may cause some fitment issues with lower grille foglights, if you have them. If you don't have them yet but plan on adding them in the future, do not cut away any of the plastic on the bumper to increase airflow to the CAI, or you may not have anything left to mount the fogs to.
Also, AEM does not make a V2 for the Acura TL---you need to look for the Accord V6 model #24-6110.
Finally, most intakes will make a "whistle" noise (kinda sounds like turbo spool whine) which some find unacceptable.
Vendors on AZ have Group Buys on these units periodically---check the Black Market to see if there is a GB.

I agree its only a CAI. Stick with AEM, Fujita, or Injen & get the better price
of the three.
