Wink AEM

I am in the same position with CAI's right now, but for integras n civics, aem has usually been the most commonly purchased. Do you happen to know what the cost if the AEM is?

On my side... AEM is better than INJEN.. Well.. If you want to learn more about the AEM intake, go to www.adventon.com
They both have the price for AEM and INJEN.. And prolly ADVENTON sells intakes the cheapest on tha net... PEACE!

They're pretty much the same thing. Only deciding factors for me would be name, color options (I guess), and cost.

They are both damn near the same thing. AEM is a great company but don't doubt Injen. I have Injen CAI and love it. I believe that both companies use the same air filter (K&N) so just like Hobie said, it all depends on name, color and cost.

Cool that dyno does not look too bad. Has anyone seen one for a Injen one? Also where is the best place to get one. Online? Can anyone post a few pics of the two. Thanks again.

Adventon still has the best price I know of for the Injen CAI...

And, again, I'm totally agree on the fact that they are both the same... same diameter pipe, same bends, same everything. I think AEM has their logo painted on one of the pipes, though...

Any CAI other than the Weapon R.
