This is one of those more vague questions that can't really be answered. The truth is that you shouldn't be looking for concrete numbers.

However, time and time again, it's been shown that CAI's in general give slightly higher numbers, but the SRI's give better throttle response. Neither give really noticeable power though. Brands don't differ too much in terms of performance either, so just get whatever you think is best, and what is good for your budget.

Honestly, if I were to look into an intake for my car I would just get a drop in K&N air filter.

Too much money for an aftermarket intake on a Dseries. If I didnt have a project I going to start I would trade you my AEM Carb cert. short ram for your stock and cash

Yeah, if you don't really want to go with one of those expensive CARB legal intakes, that would be the way to go.

Yeah, If I knew what I know now back then I definitely would not have bought my DC header and AEM intake. Big waste of money. I have thought about trading for a stock box for a while

my DIY coldair box is better than any shortram or CAI that ive wasted money on.

Stock box, bottom cut out( resonator, other tubing), K&N highflo filter, Ebay FAT short ram (replaces OE bendy crap).

Best 30 mins and $37 i ever spent.

I guess no one has seen the comparative intake thread.

Intake is an intake, get whichever one sounds better. When it's all said and done they're all close enough to negate any worrying over which one is better.

If you pay more than $100 you're a fool.
