Default Best CAI kit?

Just wondering what is the best CAI kit out (going to be used on a 92 cx hatch with a b16a with stock intake manifold for now, will be switched out for an ITR manifold this summer). What kind of HP increases are seen on the dyno? Right now the car has no A/C, no PS on it factory. It has CAI (this week ordering hence the question of which to get) VAFC, 4-2-1 header,2.25" exhaust with no cat. Chipped P28 ecu via Hyperducktuning (currently running the skunk2 program, also have the mugen and feels as well though). I'm hoping to get the car to a dyno soon, but wondering what typical ballpark HP should I expect out of this thing???

Everyone will say AEM, but to me, an intake is an intake for the most part, the difference is neglidgable at best, buy what you can afford. In my opinion, intakes are a rip anyways, I'd buy a $30 air filter and put it on the end of the stock intake pipe.

i wouldnt. after market intakes have a larger diameter for more air flow. ive heard really good things about the comptech airbox. aem is good too, but very popular, that probably why.

the best CAI would be the iceman. for a couple reasons
1) it is plastic so it doesnt heat up as much causing you to suck in hot air
2) the shape of it goes into a funel allowing air to flow better.

Just my 2 cents. id go with that for sure. not to exspensive either
