CAI comparison

[phidubble0]

After browsing for an hr throught the search results for "CAI" or "Cold Air Intake", I've yet to find a good comparison between the various popular CAIs (Injen, AEM, MS, K&N, Fujita, etc.)

I figure some typical pts of interest/comparison could be:
Price | Performance | Ease of installation | Hydrosheild or not? | Look | Sound | etc.

Any subject matter expert out there care to step up to the plate?

Thanks in advance!!

Did you see this one?

It compares AEM, Injen, Fujita and Mazdaspeed CAIs in terms of performance and sound. There are also a few prices in this thread, but they may not be accurate since the thread is around a year old.

This one talks about pricing, but once again, it is a bit out-dated. The sponsors and/other members will probably have to chime in to give an update on their latest pricing.

There is a link for a sound clip for the Injen CAI here. I have not tried it, so I am not sure if the link is dead.

This link contains a sound clip for the Fujita CAI. I am not sure if it still works, cause I was not able to view it.

This one shows a poll so that you can see what CAI the majority of members are using. In this case, MS.

Because your question is so "complex", I am pretty sure there is no single thread with everything in there. Your answers are going to be spread across a few threads.

I will try to help you out. *puts on reading glasses* Since you searched for so long, I'm hoping I don't end up pulling the same ones you already read.

I hope that I answered some of your questions. If not, I am sure more members will chime in.

phidubble0: Did it help or did I just overwhelm you? I can't tell whether you were being sarcastic or not.

[phidubble0]

I'm starting to lean towards Injen or AEM....now to find a GB!!!
