injen intake vs. aem intake

hello,
i wanna ask some of u guys opinion on which intake would gain me more power, i saw a thread here before that an aem intake gained 30whp(plus other bolt ons and tune), but i havn't yet seen an injen intake that has some proof on real power gains...

my plan on tuning the evo x isnt much coz its my daily so for now i just wanna get an intake that will yield me the most hp possible w/o the ecu tune...

hopefullly someone can give some insights...i am not for the looks, i am for the power, and i careless for the sound, for me the more power the better but again this car is for daily use so i am not going to go crazy on aftermarket parts, just wanna change the intake for extra power and i want the most hp possible i can get for an intake....

thanks....

have a nice day....

You should take a look at AMS's intake...apparently it yields significant power gains and like all intakes it leans the car out which is good since we run pretty rich.

Combine the AMS intake with the AEM cold air box.

AEM is the best! Why? cause I have it! most of the intake brands are going to be close to the same power increases. I chose aem because it will be carb legal soon, has a dryflow filter and a box to keep air cool. either way you cant go wrong!

I'm not a big fan of either. Save yourself some moolah and just grab an AMS or UR intake. Both seem to give fantastic increases for not a lot of coin.

I don't think any of them will yield much different gains....

It's a cone filter on a hard pipe......
