AEM V2 will probably give you 1 more horse over the Injen, which will give you the same hp as an eBay intake. How you want to spend your money is up to you

true, just get an ebay one with the k&n filter at the end. save the flow for future mods.

go with whitchever is cheaper.no differance in short rams. AEM V2 best HP but not worth the $$$. I have the V2 but that is because i bought the car with it.

Ebay intake + K&N. Best bang for the buck intake.

Geez, it's just an intake.

the difference in performance between the two (or any two intakes) is so marginal, that it could be negated simply by having 1/4 tank of gas vs. a 3/8 tank of gas.

the only time the differences in hp gains are even remotely significant are when you're using it in conjunction with several other high-output components.

they are all the same. Only thing that makes a difference is the filter. And no, K&N is not the best

The difference was mildly noticeable when I switched from eBay SRI to AEM CAI. I will never run another SRI period.

if you did some research you would kick yourself in the ***....a 3" short ram and velocity stack will beat out any CAI
