IT kinda is weird that they cost so much when you would think they are all the same.But AEM, Iceman, Injen pull off the dyno runs with good results. I wouldent car if the intake was the worst looking thing ever, as long as I get good results from it. Its on my ride.......

so I am assuming from some of your responses that most of you would go ahead and get the "cheaper" intake? I do like the idea of getting the cheaper intake and putting the k&n filter on it though. :thumbup:

I have had a Short-Ram Intake and my Aem CAI pulls a lot better then the short-ram did. But, since the hot air is being sucked into the intake from the engine I guess it doesent really count. But I have seen dyno sheets before, Friends,Magz, sites. And From what I saw Aem gave the most HP. I know that the HP differ's from cars. But So far it has done me well, And I dont want to sit here and argue because we all have our own likes and dis-likes.....

my generic came in the mail today i slapped it on in about 10 minutes cause i had to get ready for a job interview. i love it, it feels like it has more power than my old filter on the stock pipe on the buttdyno. it pulls a little bit harder in the upper rpm's too. im gonna tomorrow and get that heat shield filter from my friend.
