(If you had asked "Which is harder to install, I'd have kept it in UTH.)

better in what terms? performance gains? sound? i think it's pretty much understood that intake's effect on performance is negligible...

When are people going to understand that all CAIs are pretty much the same ?!? They suck in cold air, that's pretty much it...

The only differences really are pipe design, which they're almost all the same, and filter, in which all of the aftermarket designs are all high flowing. They are all going to give you the same hp, within 1 or 2 at max of one another.

The only REAL differences are that the cheaper Ebay brands sometimes don't include all the necessary piping, like for the coolant lines and whatnot. Sure, the AEM comes with everythign you need, but you're paying 150-200 dollars more for some 5 dollar rubber tubing.

The choice is yours.

INJEN is usually a bit cheaper (or so I have found), thus why its on my car!

I personally like AEM better, but they will both give similar gains so it really doesn't matter.
