Injen or ARC induction

In the process of swapping out the Ebay crap that was put on my car by the P.O. to quality / new parts. I'm up in the air with the Injen intake and the ARC induction box. Did some searching and saw some concerns with intercooler piping and the ARC induction box getting in the way. Is the clearance issue with induction box big or slight if anyone knows first hand.
Also is the cold air and the induction box a night and day comparison?

Thanks in advance guys

Drop-in filter is fine until you get to 350-400WHP. Make sure to get it tuned or you'll be running lean.

The Injen intake comes with UICP & LICP. Good price.

I have the Injen UICP and the intake, but use a different LICP and have never had a problem with it blowing off.

I've always wonder what makes buschur/ams products better then others? Don't get me wrong, I'm not bad mouthing them or anything. But I'm just wondering why people think they're better then other products like ARC, Injen, HKS and stuff like that.

Is it do to price, performance or is it because their Evo produce a lot of HP?

Price, they're product isn't any cheaper then other major tuners.

Performance, most intake are a few HP from one to another.

I do believe that Buschur/AMS Evo makes the most HP. But other tunner never really go for the all out HP war.

Once again, I am not bad mouthing Buschur or any other tunners out there. I'm just wondering why some prefer them.

Honestly there really isn't much of a reason other then they have both developed a loyal fan base that will suggest their products even if there is nothing special that sets that product apart from anyone elses.

I got the box but i also got the UICP and intercooler setup and everything fits. Thats all you are paying for though when gettin ARC is "SEXY". Its all looks, dont get me wrong it performs but you are paying for the name and looks more less.
