I think you need a seizure for your rather obnoxious post. But to be on topic I prefer the Injen. I believe they are both the same from a not too technical stand point. Just go with whatever is cheaper.

With the Injen are you talkin' CAI or the Short Ram? I found a couple of places with SR's for $120. There's a sticky called 'Intake Shootout' I beleive, and it seems they all are about the same...

Just for that remark and your lazyness, you will find yourself going through some real tough times on this forum.

Read the rules before you post :

4. I promise to use the search feature before I post new questions.

Violating that subects you to countless unnecessary ridicule from people who are frustrated by repeatedly asked questions.

If you're going to throw stuff in our faces, for not helping you, when you aren't following the rules, no one will help you at all. Instead of being nice about it (like I am now), they're going to tell you to go f**k yourself.

Now, I can understand how you feel, as you are relatively new to this site, and you asked what you thought was a reasonable question. Then for a response, in stead of an answer, you get 15 people are jumping on you about "use the damn search button" That's infuriating....they're blasting you without explaining why. Naturally you felt attacked, and you responded in turn.

So...let me help you help yourself with a few pointers:

1) use the red search button. changing the option to search for "all terms" will narrow your results, thus giving you a more accurate response.

2)searching for (in this example) "which intake is best", not finding the results you need, and then posting your question is not searching. It is expected that you will do multiple searches, example "intake comparisons", "k&n or injen", "intake preference", etc etc. What I'm getting at is that the search should be used a few times before you give up and post.

3) if you get blasted by someone , take it with a grain of salt. don't respond with arrogance and insults or even stuff like your last post. Try real hard not to stoop to a ____ing contest here. If someone insists on slamming you undeserved, try and be the better person. Two people acting like 5 year olds is worse than one, 3 is worse than 2, I'm sure you get the picture. Remember that this is an internet forum, designed to help people. Getting into a flame contest with anyone, deserved or otherwise, is so juvenile its pathetic.

4)Above and to the right of the red search button is the Rules button. Read/follow those, and less people will give you any crap.

because it should be embarassing to be proven that you are a tool... not to mention people will start ignoring you and your idiotic threads that have already been answered. so even if you have a valid point or question, it will go unseen.
