What is the best air intake out there right now for my 2.4L ss sedan, i kind of like the Injen intake but the new K & N claims the highest horsepower at 16HP for a pretty price. I just like the look better of the Injen, add some color under the hood for some shows, instead of the plain black K & N look. if there is a better one then these two, please let me know, thanks.

 

you could paint the K&N

 

they pretty much all have the same gains. don't go by what the manufacturere claims. jsut get whatever's in your budget.

 

yea i could but im painting a lot of other engine parts soon, dont want to much.

 

A intake is a intake.

It's a aluminum tube, a filter and a couple of clamps with couplers. There isn't any special technology that goes into it...

On a 4 cylinder car like yours, don't expect too much from it but you'll probably notice a slight difference.

 

you could the gmpp intake its really good to.

 

and overpriced. unless it came down in price.

 

i looked all over for the GM Intake and could not find it anywhere, i called the dealership yesterday and they told me GM dont make one for my car, but i know they do, cause i ran into it before, anybody know the website i can find it on.

 

an intake may be an intake but there are slight differences in the models. some are a lot louder than others, some are made differently. they do the same thing, yes, however, there is a lot more to consider than just an intake is an intake.

some sounds are more deeper. k&n is a good one if you're looking for deep sound.

 

I would advise against using the filter that comes with the K&N just because the MAF sensor is a bitch and is very touchy to oiled filters other than that the fujita for the 2.2/2.4 uses the stock elbow...which is kinda gay to me...AEM, GMPP, Injen, Rebel Auto Works, any of those IMHO

 

crateenginedepot.com has the gm intake

 

Sound has to do with

1. The pipe diameter
2. The type of filter
3. The engine it's on

That's it.

Overall, they generally sound the same.

 

ok, thanks for all the replys, i just hear this ones good, that ones good, i thought they we all bout the same except maybe for sound or something.

 

How about this.

Short ram is quieter than Cold Air.

 

i just looked on crateenginedepot.com and did not see the GM air intake, the only thing i saw was an upgrade for 2.2 to the 2.4 intake manifold kit, no CAI system.

 

here let me hold your hand

pretty much i got the kn one and i noticed big gains to my friend who has a 2.4 with a injen cai, its loud under wot and ez to put on, ive NEVER had a problem with the pre-oiled filter so i dont know were that comes from..but if u want a nice loud beefy sounding intake with good gains go KN

 

ok thanks guys

 

IMO.... get the injen... its worth it and k&n well everyone has one... from civics to trucks... not EVERYONE has an injen... its easy to put on...



OH and BTW the 16 HP gain is for the 2.0 s/c engine.. you wont gain 16 hp from an intake.. more like 5-10...

 

the 16hp gains posted by KN is for the 2.4L but u cant always go by what the manufactuare says

 

I like injen myself

 

Injen, and PM us we can get you a GREAT price if you order soon

This one is the best. Its only $85 and it does the exact same thing as every other over priced intake. Trust me, I have this exact one

 

I just got my Typhoon intake today for my g5 gt. I just wanna ask you how long have you had your k/n intake for. I curious because i don't wanna use the oiled filter if its gonna screw up my maf sensor.

 

i would say yes to the injen but the problem is that nasty bend (elbow) just be for the intake manifold. the K&N is much smoother (bends) and constant size tubing thus allowing better air flow and more power. the worst one my far is the WR intake. that have a sharp 90 degree turn. just look at them


INJEN


K&N


WR
