generic, unless you are showing your car at major shows and need every point you can get. The truth from the dyno test that I was a witness of, is that no intake is better than another, it's usually only fractionally different (never more than a hp or just over), and for that matter, as long as it's a CAI, it's going to perform just as good as the AEM CAI. ....and the V2 is so f'ing expensive it's FAR from worth the 0.5hp peak that you'll get.

AEM Standard $216.80
AEM V2 $480.11
AEM Short Ram $216.80
APC $122.06
DC Sports $292.87
Injen Racing $416.82
Injen Standard $279.93
Toucan $105.41
Vibrant $ 85.13
Weapon R $203.44

Thanks, M
Just what area do you live in? Those prices are pretty high, even for Canada. In my opinion, either get the V2 or the standard AEM CAI. You'll get the most power from AEM intakes in general. And check out www.rpmmotoring.com for free shipping on their AEM intakes.

depends on which Injen you ordered. The Injen RD? or the regular short ram. They're quality intakes and i bought mine for $210.00.

As for HP/Tq numbers, it really depends on the weather also. Don't expect too much from bolt-ons.

btw, it pairs well with my GReddy EVO.

if you live around Fairfax County, Virginia....goto Car Trenz. Autothority charges you around the same price i think. I didn't know the box was so huge for an intake. My GReddy EVO box was BIGGER!
