Who makes the best CAI for a 2005 Acura TL 3.2L

I'm in the market for a CAI for my 2005 Acura TL 3.2 not a Type-S

Which product will provide me with the MOST horsepower gains?

I only found PROVEN results for K&N...roughly 6.8hp
Fujita?
Injen?
AEM?
others?
These others CLAIM they increase hp but they don't seem to say EXACTLY how much!...unless i'm blind of course

In case I miss your response please e-mail me your response at rawbey@yahoo.com

I've been pulling my hair out searching online and believe me I don't have much left!

AEM

but I think Fujita = AEM and Fujita is actually cheaper.

AND you should have made this thread in 3G TL section. But, whatever, welcome to Acurazine. It's the best Acura forum online.

We do have various vendor who you can contact and order the intake of your choice, so go to the sponsored vendor section and find them there! Good luck!

Welcome, we're glad you're here.

I know you are new, but this question has been asked a million times. It's only been answered 950,000 times because everybody got tired of answering it and last month and we went on a boycott.





Search around the 3G TL Performance section ( https://acurazine.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=112)

AND

The 3G TL Garage (https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/3g-tl-garage-faq-3g-tl-newbies-553554/)

That should help you get started on answering your question.

You just negated the fact that you spent less on your CAI by wasting your $ on a TB spacer

I hate to bring back an old thread like, but I did use the search function (point for the noob lol) and I saw this. So, I don't get it. Either you have a CAI or a TB spacer? You can't get both, cause I was planning on running a fujita/injen/aem CAI with the P2R Throttle body spacer...

Got it. You do know I revived a 3 month old thread right? lol. Idk if the OP will see this but I'm learning.

Any specific reason why? I was gonna get a fujita F5 (cheapest) if they're all the same.

No specific reason...it's just personal preference due to brand name recognition. Fujita's CAI will do you just fine.
