From what I have heard, the Injen gives you more S/C whine. I've heard both in person.
The Injen can have fitment issues, you gotta play with it more to make it fit nice. If installed with the bracket included, you will most likely get a little dent in your bumper. If you don't use the bracket, it fits perfectly and is still tightly in place.

I got the K&N Typhoon CAI and it gives great sound and performance, had no fitment issues, did get a lot of CEL's which have basically not occured anymore since I got the GM Stage 2. And I think its a little less expensive than the others, but not 100% sure. Good luck with whatever one you get.

Made my own using an extra stock airbox. Didn't see the point of spending 200 bux for 3-5hp and a supercharger whine. I spent 50 bux which included the filter and the extra air intake and probably have the same performance. I'm taking out my fog lights this weekend. The DS fog light lines up perfectly with the filter. So driving it would be like some kind of ram air

I have had the Injen CAI on since I have had 89 miles on the car. I have 1,700 miles on it now and have never had a CEL. The new CAI has an indent on the top of the tube to keep it from hitting the hood when you close it. Mine does not have the indent as it is an older style unit. The bracket is actually called a vibra-mount. It is a black rubber mount that screws onto the stud that is on the fender well. By leaving the vibra-mount off, I had no fitment issues at all and it does not push on the bumper. I also took a 3/8” gas line hose and put it all the way around the opening where the CAI enters the fender to keep it from chafing a hole into my CAI. It works great for me and sounds good. It turns a lot of heads as you go by.

It helps so the hood doesnt hit the tube.

Mine has the dent on the top. Dave on here has the old Injen without the dent. As far as I know, I think he told me that his doesn't even hit the hood. The real fitment issue with the Injen is that if you use the vibramount bracket, it will hit the bumper and leave a bump on the outside. If you don't use the vibramount bracket, it fits perfectly. I dont even see the purpose of the vibramount, even without it, there isnt any vibrations or noise.
My question is, does the dent that the new injen has on top interupt the airflow at all? Seems like it would but I don't know if its enough to decrease performance at all.
