Save your money. The CAIs don't really make much of a power difference, they just look a little cooler. It's the one mod that if I had to do over again, I wouldn't.

I had the AEM and I really didn't notice any improvements after I installed it other than the sound it made. Alot of people have good things to say about the popcharger. I would do that one if I were you..my 2¢.

I would go with the pop charger. I have an Injen and for one I can't feel any gains, and two it gets really dirty. I actually made mine a short ram because of that. Can't tell any difference.

i dont know how some people can say the popcharger is the best. sure u get the sound, and maybe some hp. but theres no way in more than injen. the popcharger is the same thing as a K&N. its an airfilter in the engine bay sucking up hot air. injen has cold air comming to it from the bumper area. if u want the most HP from every mod possible go with injen...if u want close to the most hp possible and save 150 for another mod...go with the popcharger.

just got my POPCHARGER today, it frikin rocks man. the whole tone of the car is slightly deeper. On top of that, that sound they mentioned "the whistle sound" is sure there man, its almost like getting an exhaust, just not as loud. For the sake of not having to worry about it, i had my intake installed by performance nissan of duarte -i also bought the unit there, jason's (the head of the performance parts division) a pretty cool guy, really helpfull- so yea, the 120 is sure worth it!

My Popcharger doesn't suck hot air, maybe the Injen is just full of hot air .
