CAI- Which one is better?

I just purchased my 02 OZ 2 weeks ago and wanna know from you guys which CAI is worth my money. Im asking because most of you guys have had experience with and know a hell of a lot more than I do about the Lancer. I had a CAI on my last car and it didnt do jack for me so it was money wasted. Any help would be appreciated.

Basically between the two, it comes down to which brand you like better.

Good point. The Injen problems have to do with the mounts taking too much vibration. The way to fix this is simple. Add a washer to both sides of the mounts, and you'll be fine. I did that, and I've had no problems.

Another simple fix for having 5 billion threads about intakes. Run a search.

This evil mod found your money, ingrate!

It gets especially annoying because now when people ACTUALLY search they get a billion threads when only one or two even have any pertinent information. Cleaning up all the duplicate threads means either deleting threads/posts, merging them, or a combination of the two. That's a lot of effort just because someone didn't look before they posted.

It's neer anything personal, these things just add up.

Couldn't if I wanted to. I think I may have a solution to the search problem and duplicate threads though so let me propose it to KK and see how impossible it is and then what happens.
