wow, there are plenty of threads about this but i'll help you out

fujita cai- best price for the performance
and you get a cool bag and hat

fujita/injen cai > aem cai > airboxes (mugen/comptech/adr) > aem v2 > injen short ram > k/n filter with modified stockbox > k/n filter > stock

I saw an independant test of the INEN vs. the AEM and the Injen came out on top for the K-motors.

I use the stock intake system and filter. I don't want to risk ingesting abrasives into my engine for a marginal or perceived gain in performance.

Go there and read the entire thing you'll get your true answer since it's not coming from the manufacturers.

I personally choose the AEM V2(so I don't have to deal w/ the Chicago weather and having to pop the front bumper off to clean the filter).

TOP 4 MOST POPULAR: AEM V2, FUJITA CAI, AEM CAI, & INJEN CAI.

I love the MUGEN. I have to say it's the sickest looking one, but the steepest one in $$$$$$$$$.

the fujita and injen are often debated on which is best.

theyre almost identical as far as piping route, and performance is similar as well. the only main difference is the filter design, and people often say the fujita is louder. i went with the fujita because its alot cheaper and gives the same results.

the aem gets bad reviews because of its washer resevoir situation.

True, it comes down to the filters.

that is correct, the fujita filter is louder

but when it comes time to replace it
i'm going to get the injen replacement

the piping is actually identical to the aem design

the injen has that rubber elbow at the throttle body
where as the aem/fujita is a solid pipe from the throttle body to the filter

anyways, its pretty much all the same stuff

AEM uses K&N filter for their V2 and other intakes, right?
