The J's wil probably get more power and its cheaper.

 

ive seen the j's knock off go for 45 shipped. check around. as far as performance, i think they are about equal.

 

i'd get the j's if it had a carb EO. stupid cali smog

 

alright i think i will go with the j's. anyone know how much WHP im looking at here? (d16z6)

i also hear the J's being real loud, not complaining just asking.

 

you will probably not see any REAL gains. Its an intake on a basically stock engine....it'll give you sound and when combined with later improvements, it will be better.

either design is fine. Pick which you like

 

just get a damn cheapie ebay intake if you're getting a shorty intake.

 

i would get a cheap ebay cai.

 

I think that about sums it up.

 

Go with a cheapo intake and save up for a swap or boost.

 

got witht he real deal

don't cop out

and well if u going cheap might as well get the ebay cai
as someone posted

since u want cheap performance

you speak as though it's wrong to spend less money on an equal part.... considering they both do the same thing..

 

its just like a clothing label..thats what you pay for..they r all the same..

But, if I can go back, I'd get the AEM shortram for $75, same price I got this one for shipped. J's style looks like a whale's *****. I want something that fits smoothly and doens't rub on the strut tower.

Tell you what, sell you mine for $60 shipped. Pretty new, like 2 months old. No scratches. It's red. With coupling, hose and filter.

ok, sure dood!

 

get the ***** intake

 

i'd go with the AEM because it comes with a good filter.
i'm running ebay piping with k&n filter because it's cheapest.
between the two, i'd prefer the better filter of the AEM.

Bitch you can change the filter on the cheaper intake.

exactly. Most ebay intakes are 2piece too, so if you live in a rainy area you can go short ram during the winter/early spring and cold air during summer and fall

 

id rock the fake jays painted black

 

j's intake is sweet, plus when you get on the throttle it sounds like your stomping on the foot of a retard in a straight jacket.

or you could just make your own to do this for less than most cai's (maybe not the really cheap ebay ones)

 

So there really is no difference (besides the washable filter) between the cheap Ebay CAIs and the expensive ones?
