ebay and CAI'S

[specialized32]

im not going to start the whole CAI debate but im curious as to why is Injen more expensive than AEM on e-bay? arent they relativley the same? Reason is i want to buy one of the two but the shipping is so damn expensive with the Injen but why is the AEM cheaper even with shipping, cause its not as good? I have read previous posts and cant seem to find an answer so who has AEM? Will it fit an 05' without removing the foggie? I know injen you have to...Just opinions please the other posts got nasty

I have the AEM but i have a pre-facelift model, it would have been easier to put the filter on if we removed the foggie, but as hard as Dylan tried to remove the foggie it just wouldnt budge....

I dont know what the differences are, they look pretty much the same...

Check out the dyno runs for each on their respective websites. With the AEM from memory there was a drop in torque under standard setup below 3000 rpms... I'm guessing that injen don't have this drop in torque hence why they're more expensive.

thanks for the help guys yes AEM is cheaper but im guessing you get what you pay for and i have heard all good comments from both Injen and AEM so il check there web site out and make a decision that way thanks for the heads up on race options the sell both intakes :)

Out of curiosity just how much are they wanting for the AEM over the Injen and also how much are they slugging you for freight? Other members may be wanting to see the difference in prices too. :D

For an Injen 335 shipped and a AEM 235 shipped so its a considerable difference hence why i am little apprehensive on my choice :)
