performance wise i have no proof other than my word that they are the same if you do the stock airbox mod like i did.

i have done my own tests. i know they are the same. i've had people who had injen sell theres and copy my stock airbox idea

So the $200 I spent on my AEM CAI is a waste?

Well well well....I will more then likely install this bastard CAI since it will be a gain for me...sounds like I may have paid too much.

On a positive note my TTR sway bar came in today.

there is no best h/e. some say get cx h/e the big one cause it is the biggest and most coolant. others say small one because it is less coolant and you don't need as much. it all depends. for me i just went with the big cx h/e because i thought it looked the best and fit the whole front.

I take it there's nothing out there specific for the zzp H/E in terms of installation....do I just pull the bumper using that how-to then try to mount it up by eye sight? Does it mount with the same bolt that the existing H/E is running? i want to run them in parallel.
