Default Which CAI should I get?

I have been considering a CAI for a while, but I can't decide. Please give me your input. Here's what I think so far.

AEM: Minor HP increase loud vtec sound, but some members don't like the so called "ricey" sound. But I like it. I have AEM in mind though.

Injen: I don't really like chrome... (no offense to Injen owners)

Comptech: I'm guessing that it has about the same HP increase as the AEM, but Comptech has a supercharger look and carbon fiber heat shield. But not as loud as the AEM during vtec engagement.

Roar: I'm highly considering this CAI, but $500 for a CAI...(including the "hypercharger" of course.)

So basically it's AEM vs. Comptech vs. Roar. But I put Injen in there just for the heck of it.

Spoon is just a duct and basically the same price as the ones you mentioned. Mugen on the other hand $$$

Roar: The hypercharger. Sheesh
AEM: The bogus bypass. Sheesh
Injen: Has a slight whistling problem but at least it's honest.
Comptech: Don't know, it's still unproven but seems like the most sensible design and will probably be nice.

read this post and my comment. I'll look for my earlier post about frequency modulation and try to post that to. Basically I understand from experience how gases flow through a tube. I understand frequency modulation. I have no proof as I haven't gotten my Comptech intake yet but judging by looks and design the Comptech SHOULD be the better intake. BTW its almost as loud as the other two

good luck on a group buy, Comptech frowns upon them and I really don't think you'll find one. You might be able to get one off somebody that bought one but was unhappy with it but I doubt it since it's so new.
