just looking to see what the preference is for either of these intakes and why.

i have the injen cai but with all the hype over the k&n intake am wondering if the k&n would make more power.

can anyone effectively explain why one of these is better than the other, or could even just post up some dyno numbers to compare.

i've seen numbers for the k&n, which was about +12 whp and +14 wtq to a stock ss/tc, btu i cannot find anything for the injen cai and am dying to know if the injen cai is possibly hurting my power compared to the k&n intake.

(i have already searched and have found little to nothing on this so thats why i am posting)

thanks!

 

it's not about power with the LNF intakes, its more about the fuel trims.

 

A lot of people love the K&N

Very quality piece

SR = low end power

CAI = high end power

 

Wow, that is a phenomenally uneducated generalization. Good job.

 

And if you run the filter directly on the turbo it add both torque and top end. lol

 

No no no, the filter is a restriction, you gotta take it off.

 

No u gotta make dual intake one sr and one cai To get low and high end.

 

ok, back on topic, does anyone have or know of any dyno numbers for the injen intake i can use for comparison to the k&n?

 

Taken from the intake sticky if you care to read it.

"Injen's intake I have not tested personally but Tofu, a member on here did some data logging and dyno testing of injen's intake. From his logs the LTFT was -6.2 to -7 when it settled and the STFTs varied from -12 to +5. He said the driveability was decent but it felt sliggish sometimes in the midrange. Dyno testing showed a 10-15 whp gain up top but significant losses of 15-20 wtrq in the midrange even when the MAF was tuned for the intake. Quality seems to be good and no one has reported any unusual issues with surging with Injen's intake. "

Get the K&N.

 

I love my K&N.

 

bleh... wish i read more into these things before i bought the injen cai. guess im hoping to find someone who has had a positive experience with the injen

 

Very nice man that only took you like 2hrs to think of that

I was being a smart ass when I said that I didnt know I had to clarify that.

So you making that bone head comment just shows how ignorant and immature you are

 

Actually it only took him 4 Minutes to respond to your post (had to add my smart ass comment too) hehe

 

i have the k&n short ram, and i love it. in FL it rains a lot so i was told to keep my filter in the engine compartment to avoid water on it,, maybe something to consider,, great product i love it,, car takes off a lot harder for sure.

 

True True I stand corrected

 

proof that sri = moar down low powuh.

j/k. k&n ftw! thatw what im getting since it doesnt eff up the fuel trims that much.

 

yeah no issues with my K&N yet and im even on GMS1 which is asking for trouble

 

damnit whitty, where did you get K&N SRI?? me wants one!

they are sold out world wide I think

 

JDP had them for 285 shipped to canada on the first run pretty sure i got his last one lol...
