Injen And Aem Cai Sounds

Jul 23rd, 2003, 02:01 AM

Hi all,
Well i'm deeply interested in knowing weather or not the injen RD- CAI is quiet in idle mode of the car and not too loud? I heard the AEM is really silent at idle mode and act as a sleeper, but until you floor it....heavy damage is done.

But, is the injen the same way? Please fill me in someone...tell me which one i should buy...i'm going crazyyyyyyyyy.....i'm looking for something quiet, silent, reliable, good quality and the BEST GAIN ON PERFORMANCE! HELP MEEEEEEE

Either one is going to be loud at WOT. I don't know of any differences at idle between the two. One of my friends has injen and you can't tell unless he floors it.

so u believe the Injen RD CAI is something i should go for? Cause this company i'm gettin the intake from said i should go for this over the AEM CAI b/c i get more of a gain and quality and etc......is this true. Supposedly, aem get 10 hp as for the injen get 12-14hp. Hmmmmmm.....wha you think? I'm just looking for the best performance and silence during idle mode...nothing to loud and hissing...

i have the Injen, idles quite, hisses on tap, but quite on slow accleration. it looks nice, worksmanship is superb, and quality is top of the line....and by the way it gives 7whp and 4 ftlbs of torque.....www.injen.com

Arlington Virginia? How close is that to Columbia, Maryland? LOL, I just moved down here to Clumbia Maryland last October, from CT. Looking to see if there are a lot of peeps from around the area.

I just bought the AEM CAI, it gives better gains then the Injen and saves you a few bucks over the Injen system; gains for me were 8 WHP and 10W/Lb of Torque. fit and finish is excellent, I have an aztec red sentra so the red poweder coated finish goes real well with it. Several auto shops in my area all recomended the AEM system over injen, and they sell both, Im on my 3rd day of use with this sytem and im still grinning from ear to ear

Silvspec86 · Jul 27th, 2003, 09:12 PM

...thats cool, but all my friends got injen so i got the injen CAI, i saw some guy with the AEM a while back and i can tell you that you get what you pay for with injen...IMO. But 10 ftlbs? and 8 hp? ......dont get me wrong here but that dont sound right...maybe at the crank, but the injen's dyno sheets can't be agued against...sorry i'm not looking for an arguement...just tellin you folks what i think.
