if you live in cali buy injen or aem for the C.A.R.B. sticker to save yourself the hassle....if not buy an ebay intake, make a silly hat out of the filter they send you, go buy a K&N filter from the auto parts store and attach it to the ebay intake pipe.

If you pay more than 100$ for any intake, your a fool.

Back in the day Sport Compact Car did a test and AEM cold air intake won a couple different times. They had the dyno numbers showing that it freed up as much as 10 hp at certain rpms. I don't see how Injen is even a contender. At one time they were just as ghetto as Tenzo R, now all the sudden they make good stuff?

Carbon Fiber Whale Dick because it looks good, other than that they are all the same.

And the name is good! Wish I had one, just so I could tell people what it is (and look at it while masturbating vigorously at all the carbon fiber goodness)

I honestly would not even pay the 250+ that it costs for a CAI. Knock out the baffle on your stock box and drop a K&N in. Or if anything see if you can find an intake tube and use it with the existing stock airbox.

i got the aem v2 for my 2000 ex, used for 125, never dynoed it but it sure sounds nice. The hp won't really be noticable anyway no i don't see that point of paying alot.
