I just got an RS 2.0 and I cant decide between the Injen and the AEM, I like the AEM because the color matches the car. Which one fits better and is easier to install?
Also on a site that was selling the Injen it said it was for a 5 spd, I would assume this is a mistake and it works on the autos too right?

AEM hands down just because it carb pending

yeah thtas what im leaning towards, it looks like a pretty nice kit and I like the blue

also there is more people with Injen than aem.

have you seen a dry filter ? aem's dry filter is awesome, they even use the same type of filter on the turbonetics kit.

its MAF friendly because its not oiled.

I assume more people have injen bc its been out longer and from what I read may add about 1 hp more than the AEM I have heard about the filter and it sounds pretty cool.

i would go injen...

It won't get approved though, it does not use the Charcoal filter the stock box does. It's like removing a cat, its there for a reason. But anyways...

Injen </thread>

AEM or Fujita F5

i say this over the injen/k&n because the way that those mount to the engine bay, the mounts will break over time... its been proven, but the f5 and aem mount in a diff. matter, and is 10x better considering that.

performance wise, injen is best

but for all around best, i vote aem or f5

which would i get?

AEM

^^^^dude that post made no sense.....your voting for something then saying something else is better......whatever.



anyways K&N has been around longer then any of the afore mentioned products, they
all do about the same thing, however.......
some cost more then others, some give you a free hat.
But at the end of the day i would say K&N is the best engineered, and best overal company, in fact K&N invented the reusable filter.
also k&n has the million mile warranty, i belive on the craftsmanship of the entire system (somone correct me if im wrong)

and the only way your going to break the welds on the mounts is if you stand on it, and or abuse the pipe.

blackonblack is just talking out his ___ again.

stick with modding with your stickers and vinyl eyebrows...

DUDE WTF???
first off.. i say the injen has the BEST PERFORMANCE

second.. i said that the F5 AND AEM are best overall because they are designed to NOT BREAK THE MOUNTS

and KNN is not the best designed, it was the first to be known that breaks the mounts

dont believe me talk to ENGIFINEER

and wtf was that about stickers and vinyl eyebrows??

i dont have either.. all my mods are f'in top notch

Get the AEM cai. Why? because of the label name.. It doesn't matter wchich one you get because every single cai out there is different.. some might get a defective one, or a perfect one.. All give around same power. In the end, just go with what you want, but if you don't like it and find problems, let us know. I'm sure all of us on scionlife.com would appreaciate it.

hey , I had emailed someone selling the intake on ebay and they said it was just for a 5sp, I also saw it advertised like this at an online store. Please confirm that it will work on an auto.

blackonblack
the wording of your post did not make any sense to me, also I belive AEM is made by K&N (someone who actually knows correct me if im wrong)
and for your mods being top notch, i saw your exhaust and its far from being what you claim it is, the welds looks like a highschool autoshop student would do, and how is putting a red decal behind your scion logo top notch? Why should i ask enginefeneer anything? he does not work for K&N or any of the filter companies.
AS for defective products, that is what the warranty if is for, i have spent in the 10's of thousands modding cars, trucks and boats, snowmobiles and streetbikes, i uese my knowlege and my experience as a tuner, not hearsay and third party stories.



moving on.........

AEM does have a good product, i like the new dryflow filter system, just dont be a ricer and put the AEM decal on the car.

ok....corrections AEM is not part of k&n not "knn" i would take the "k&n" (get it blackonblack?) over the AEM because k&n has decades more experience producing "tuner" parts than AEM which is also a great part supplier...SCC or one of those mags did a flow test on filters awhile back between like HKS and AEM and k&n and Apexi and the k&n flowed better than all of them....altho the difference between the filters would only matter in high horsepower applications your not going to notice the 1or 2 hp gain or loss from any of them, and im sorry....but if your worrying about the intake mounts on any intake ... just dont buy one..and word up to kilo 6 another veteran tuner rocking the tc..and trust me blackonblacks post didnt make much sense to me either...

thanks.....
yeah, the inventor of k&N accidently discovered the technology in a rally race in africa ( i think) his factory filter was totaled and he only have a piece of bloody guauze to replace it, hense the reason why its wet.....
anyways, i would always choose companies like H&R or Eibach that have actual track testing results not some slick add campaign in a tuner mag.
not all products are like this, but a mojority are, and about the mounts, they use rubber bushings to stablize the mount, and i belive the k&N uses the stock mounting location with a tig welded mount, i cannot even break a tig mount with a hammer, so unless your standing on it, and that is your only argument why NOT to buy a K&N....

you need to learn alot.

just because you have a hard time understanding something doesnt mean that the info isnt there.

and all these mods are temporary until i can afford the real mods which will be soon.

HATER :loser:

A metal mount (even tig welded) can break over time. You may not be able to break it in one sitting, but after driving a while, the mount can be weakened by repeated vibrations and eventually crack, which has happened on the tC... just search the threads if you want proof.

Also, K&N is a quality prduct for sure, however, their intake for the tC has proven to be arguably the worst performer in terms of gains. I was a K&N supporter until I did the research to find out which intakes were really performing, and if AEM is offering very near the performance of the Injen with quality construction and as good or better mounts than K&N, the choice is clear. Why do you think Toyota would use AEM and DC Sports products on their show/celeb race tC's? Because they're reliable and good performers.

just because you have a hard time understanding something doesnt mean that the info isnt there.

and all these mods are temporary until i can afford the real mods which will be soon.

HATER :loser:


no the info wasnt there...AND your hard to understand...like in this post above


temporary mods are the same as real mods...last time i checked modification doesnt change meaning just because the modifications you have now are lame...and the ones you want aren't, you use doublespeak..go take an english class


i cant hate when you and your trash barely crosses my radar, dont make yourself feel better thinking i care about what you have to say...i just like to squash peoples bull____....and if you can squash mine call me on it, but i doubt it because ive been doing this on the regular since i was 13...and while im no engineer cars are my thing...dumb kid

well, personally i dont like CAI to begin with, i have a custom made set up with a drop in, works great and best of all no hollow resonant sound that you tend to get from a metal CAI, not knocking them but they are not for me.
as for the bracket breaking, i have seen AEM ones brake as well.
as for being a hater, im not. I could care less what temporary "top notch" whack asss mods you do. And as the man above said it, temp mods are real mods, i dont do anything until i do it right, i dont half ___ stuff, especaill on my cars, i dont do temproary anything. I research the product and decide if its for me, i dont do a hack job on an exhaust because i cant afford a better one, if i was broke i would save my money and buy it right the first time, but since i dont operate in budgets or paycheck to paycheck with my mods ill be the last to call your budget build up top notch.

hater no, realist yes. and your an idiot.........
if you had more expericence, like if you had actually purchased the products (all of them) and made a educated decision based off your PERSONAL expereince then your argument would hold more weight. I have been using DCsports products since they first came out, K&N too, and i just did a INJEN intake intercooler in a 400HP evo..... so i could venture to say i have real world experince with these products, not some hear say on a forum.
as for fujita, i cannot comment i have not used that stuff, but i hear you get a free gear bag and hat, and like all new companies they make claims that theres is the best.
but ill stick with what i know.....

and i know your a dreamer who likes to post in almost every topic and say "im doing that" saying is one thing, but doing is another.

so stop talking and do it, then post up what you got, not what you wish you had.

One simple misunderstanding led to this whole argument? Take it easy guys.

straight up... ill watch my mouth from now on, and i HAVE HAD THE K&N, and i have seen in real life the mounts break on an injen and k&n, but never on the F5....

and sure you have seen the AEM break, but have you seen it break on a tC?


anyways, i could care less what you think of me or my car...
