Default Cold Air Intake - AEM ETI

I am in the market for a CAI setup, I have been doing research for the last month or so and I am ready to purchase.

From what I can tell the new AEM ETI setup looks promising. Well built, power coated and seems to give the best proven HP gains as well. I am not looking to make mad power, I just want the car to breathe a little easier.

I am wondering if anyone else is running one, or has heard good, bad and ugly.

Thanks guys!

Perhaps I will save myself the $100 then. I was not aware that the Injen intake was that much better. It's a lot cheaper too as far as I can tell.

Thanks very much for the heads up.

Also, as far as the installation, I have done my Civic, I assume that the Injen intake for the tC would be just as easy.

i perosnally have the injen cai setup and love it,my buddy has the AEM but not the one you mention above,and he likes mine better....believe me i was in the same boat as you when deciding intakes doing resarch and such,i wasnt getting no ebay intake that was for sure,then it came down to AEM and injen And from all the reviews and such ive read injen was on top #1 for the tc for the best gains and power was noticed right away,so i went with that and never turned back and never will...

Install is very easy about 30 mins top theres a DIY in the tech section of you need help
