RRM V2 SRI V.s. Injen CAI

I currently have the RRM V1 intake, and with my birthday coming up i plan on getting something new for my car as a gift to myself...

which one would be better? haven't really heard to much from people that have either of these 2 products...anyone wanna help shed some light on which would be better purely performance-wise?

If you're going to drop 300$, I'd just get a different part rather than replace the intake you already purchased. Maybe an exhaust? If you only want to replace the intake, the RRM V2 is nice, I have a few videos of it on youtube.

From what I've gathered from reading these forums over the passed few months; is that the Injen CAI gives better top-end power, and an SRI gives better low-end power.

IMO there's probably not much difference except price.

installation of the CAI is more of a ***** compared to the SRI's.. especially when you have to clean the fitre more often too..

Yeah, that too. I believe you need to take the whole front bumper off. That's why I just went with SRI.

WORKS is the best sounding exhaust especially for the money for the 2008 right now, IMHO

Is the works "exhaust" even considered an exhuast cuz its just a pipe? Seems like the worse buy IMO, for 280$ u get a pipe....I want the Greddy exhaust but just a little pricey
