    all of the CAI are pretty much the same in power gains. CAI will have a larger gain over the "short ram air" because it's pulling in denser air.

    I had the Injen CAI and I could feel a increase throughout the rpm range. I was extremely happy with it, however, if you decided to have the S/C installed, the Injen CAI will no longer fit.

    i love the sound and gain from my AEM intake. They put the numbers on their website which other places didn't. That's why i went with the AEM and have been very happy with it.

    finally, there is someone besides me that went with short ram. It is just better in my opinion. I like to wrap the tube with insulated material to keep the pipe from heating up.
