Default Injen, AEM, or JWT?

I'm interested in buying an intake and I don't know which one i should go with. I love the sound of the Injen cold air intake, but I was wondering everyone elses opinion on reliability, sound and performance.

I have the Injen on my car and love it. I hear the JWT is great too and it is cheaper but I liked the way the injen looked much better. I think performance wise they're about the same maybe the injen will get a little colder air because of the placement but nothing that will be noticable so I wouldn't worry about that. But honnestly the performance gaines from an intake you'll only see in numbers you wont really feel any difference. And as far as reliability, I havn't had any problems and the install was pretty easy.

JWT will be louder because it is closer to you. I have the injen and moved it from CAI to short ram and it is deffinately louder. I would also suggest the K&N, looks wise I think it is the best and performance wise I would say it is up there.

This might be a silly question but, when you order the popcharger does it come with a JWT decal ....I wouldnt mind adding it to my collection. I ordered the popcharger and cant wait to hear the sound and feel the difference.

Does anybody have the K&N kit yet? I haven't seen any good pictures of it yet nor have I heard anything about it. It looks like it might be a good one, but with out some hand on reviews I'll probably just go with a JWT.

Whats wrong with the AEM?

Most people say it has bad filter placement and some even reported hp loss.

Yes the JWT comes with a decal and all it actually comes with is a filter and heat shield. Not much to it. Very simple yet works very well



Thats sounds like a sweet idea, is it possible to make a colored polished look? Im just getting a few ideas id like to have a blue intake tube, maybe to go with a few other mods I have.
