Intake Cold Air/Short Ram
What intake are you running, or if youre still stock which one do you like best? Im trying to decide what I want to go with, and I wanted to get some input on what everyone has liked and why. Ive been looking at Hahn's CAI and Dejon's SRI, but havent made up my mind. What do you guys think of these and the other options out there?

so even the SRI will mess with the MAF a little? you dont get any CELs though right?
On a side note, I notice you have a borla exhaust on your car...I havent seen anyone else with that. How do you like the sound? Any chance of getting a video up?

Since most people probably dont own both intakes to compare thats a hard question to answer...but I have the Hahn...and ive never heard an intake sound that badass. You wont be dissapointed. Loud as hell.

i have the Hahn cool ram but i also had a home built SRI and home built CAI sound really isnt much different and the power gains SRI vs. CAI isnt enough to even worry about so either way is awesome dont forget the Clear Image has a intake as well

I have been in a car with a Hahn CAI and heard the spool and blow off, several times. A guy at a local dealer had one installed and told me to stop by and check it out. I just purchased a Dejon SRI from a member on here, and the sound is EXACTLY the same.
No I am not just saying that cause I just want mine to sound like Hahn's cause I really dont give a crap, But with the Dejon you getter much better throttle response then stock, on a cold start when your engine is automatically revving it sounds like a shop vac under your hood while its sucking air in (cool as ****. had a few people go "whats that!?" with the hood closed) Dejon's intake is 1 piece so its very easy to install, so far no MAF problems. I have a muffler delete and it does pop a little more with the extra air, but maybe thats because I have just been revving so much since I got it because I love the sound.
Just seems like the Hahn guys vocalize about it more, giving the people the idea that the Hahn is louder. I would vocalize about it more if I spent 2x as much for the same **** too.
Dejon has a recirc valve you can add so when you get their charge piping with a BOV down the line you can properly recirculate it and not run rich and slowly **** your **** up

I dont have a good video camera so the video I made was distorted badly even at idle. Sounds pretty deep and agressive though and it pops real loud when I shift now

Oh yea I heard it with the hahn, I wasnt saying in that post that the hahn doesnt. The beginning of the post was saying how they sound the same and then the 2nd part was stickly dejon review lol. i actually reread it after i typed it and was like...that doesnt sound right, **** it.
