Which Intake?

I know this has been beat to death, but I need help deciding on an intake. I was dead set on the K&N, but no one has them in stock. Now I'm taking a good look at Hahn's intake. Should I wait for the K&N or just order Hahn's? How does everyone who has it like it?

Just wait for the K&N it is better for fuel trim and you don't risk hydrolocking to.

Go with the AEM cold air intake. You're in NM so not much risk of hydrolocking.
And on hot days having the intake lower WILL help your performance.
I've had mine for a few weeks now and I'm lovin' it.

I just read about flutter and surge with the AEM I know they redesigned it and all. This is just so confusing lol.

Yes I have the re-designed ones. Make sure you don't order old stock. Best bet is to order directly from AEM.

Depends on your dealer. Some do not care. My dealer is a bunch of jackasses so I do all my own work on my car.

Advantage: Better air flow.
Disadvantage: Sounds like you're kicking a puppy everytime you shift under boost.

Backordered...couple of weeks till I get mine = [

I understand the learn down feature will lower the HP added by the intake, but does it cause bogging on acceleration or anything else like that?
