If you are looking for CAI go AEM. Some problems reported with Ingens.

Injen. If you read the problems (like mine) it's not unfixable. Either one should be fine. A urethane bushing on the fork would probably solve vibration problems. The price difference isn't huge and the problems seem infrequent, so I dunno how much to worry about quality issues.

The Shark Racing intake is being pre-sold before its release. You're not likely to find someone who has one. If you read the site's description it says something to the effect of their being ready in mid December. You'll probably be waiting a while for a first hand review.

Sorry, but, Raul, I have to say something. It seems like if the product isn't sold by RRM, it's automatically crap. At least have the courtesy to spell it right.

I added bushings to my Injen, and I've had it on for quite some time, and no problems. If you go to Adventon.com, it comes down to a matter of brand preference, color preference. I personally went with the Injen, which isn't to say the AEM is bad, quite the opposite.

<-- AEM CAI for a few months. No problems.. Easy install, came with everything, inexpensive, and I got it from RRM. They are right next to one of the warehouses or something for aem .. I think thats what rock posted on another thread.. I would go RRM Short Ram if you intend to get there turbo and you want something that will give you the same gains just about with the AEM CAI. At best you'll gain 0.5 hp with the AEM CAI over the Short Ram RRM. However, if you are into looks a little bit and you have the dinero.. go AEM CAI.

Better in the fact that it actually fits, yes. Power wise? Yes but only marginally so.
