Ok i just realized what i said in my previous thread, what i MEANT was if the cai will fit the auto ra, sorry for the messup

 

crap, that is new info. Injen told me it would fit manual and auto regardless. Thanks!

 

I just won one off e-bay for $15.50!!

Not a phony, the real deal Injen intake.

The item number is 2481537326, go check it out if ya don't believe me.

 

Odds are he wont complete the deal with you, he said he wanted 100 bucks for it, I sure wouldnt send it to you for 15

 

yea... it would be cool if you got it though... if he stays honest to his deal...

 

Does any know how much hp gain you get from injen???

 

probably 10-11 at the wheels. Injen dynoed a 11 whp gain with their CAI for the Mazda3, so the RA would be comparable if not a little better.

 

Actually the Injen intake should do ALOT better because of the MIVEC. I don't THINK the M3 2.0 or 2.3 have any variable timing in them.

 

I emailed Injen and this is what they sent me-----

Yes, we have dyno'd it and it is now available.
Peak WHP GAIN:10.7
Peak TQ Gain: 9.5

We will have the full graph on injen.com shortly.



I'm just worried it will void my factory warrenty

 

I've heard that the Injen intake doesn't have a soft mount.

I'm waiting for AEM to come out with a CAI for the ralliart, should be soft mount, as well as designed to work with a bypass valve (Michigan floods a lot, plus my local dealership said they won't mess with my warrenty if I use a bypass valve).

 

What do you mean by soft mount?

 

Which would ya'll prefer injen CAI or RRM CAI???

 

Soft mount allows the engine to move (as it naturally does in the engine bay) without smacking around and breaking your intake. According to RRM, the MIVEC moves a lot due to soft engine mounts and a decent amount of torque. Look under your hood (if you have the stock airbox), that soft rubber tube going from the throttle body to the MAS is a type of softmount.

 

THe injen comes with 2 mounts injen calls them vibra mounts, they allow the engine to move, so there is no clanking or annoying noises this is why I chose injen over the rrms first edition cai.

 

Alright...Looks like ima have to go with injen....unless somone else can explain the difference between ver 1 & ver 2 from RRM...and if ver 2 has better qualities than injen!!!
