^^^ And therefore, none of them are worth their respective pricetags. Where's all the R&D foks are paying for? Where's the CARB decal? $200 for about 3 feet or mandrel bent with a filter stuck on the end? Ouch.

If not CARB legal and you dont live in CALI it does not apply to you, unless your state and county does under hood inspection then your PROBALY screwed, here in chicago get your ___ in line, plug in the scanner if your CEL aint on you pass

well if you think are sooo worried about the CAI being the main source of HP/TRQ then you got your prioritys wrong. the power you are producing from a CAI is not gonna be something that is gonna put you head back in the seat.

all im saying is..go with who you like. who you have had or heard better about. with the #s being that close from a CAI your not gonna notice a increase in speed or accel between them. you will notice a sound difference. CARB legal...who really cares!? i dont give a flying...cause i live in FLA

Injen intake... even short ram doesn't set off the cel and it sounds better than the k&n you can make it whistle loud on command lolz. Dude 1 lb of torque aint gonna make any bit of difference you are smoking crack. The engine would have to be running very lean to cause any serious damage.

how can it sound better than the K&N...? its basically the same thing. and you can do the same whistling sound with the K&N. it seems like u've never heard the K&N CAI in person before.

Seriously...my K&N is almost always whistling. In fact I dont see how its possible to whistle more than the K&N unless it does it at idle too.

Pinoy, I'd buy that Injen if it was nice and cheap. PM me.

I'd rather have a K&N Blue CAI however. Anyone know where I can get a good price on one?

The only way to get all the power out of either of the 2 is to make sure you have the stickers that come in the box applied to your vehicle.

just playin

i am a car noob gg, let's start off that

my experience with cars so far is having my timming belt snap on my 94 integra, swaped the ls engine with b16 1990 engine, with short ram aem intake,that's about it...

n e wayz. but when it comes to cars im a noob, so let's start off asking what does it mean by having the car run lean? and how would it harm the engine?

come on guys explain it to the noob, don't flame me, im gentle, but i can handle a bit of it
