Oh jeez, here we go with all the Injen owners again.

Not to be rude, but they all essentially do the same thing. My AEM is just as good as your Injen. I could care less about converting it over to SRI, and in all fairness, my filter is better than yours.

But like I said, they all do the same thing, which is make your car sound a little louder and suck in air, lol.

I mean seriously, how much better can one tube of aluminum be than another. Both AEM and Injen tune their intake tubes to better match the particular engine, and neither AEM or Injen are tuned to match the 2.4 anyways, so neither are perfect for our car, but both suffice just fine. And both are quality pieces, so its not like we're comparing some e-bay intake to the Injen.

HEY! What's wrong with a 4 DOOR! I have 4 grandkids and am too lazy to try to install them into a back seat through a 2-door. I was surprised you didn't pick on my AUTOMATIC!! At least MY intake is true, through-the-hood cold air! And I have dyno sheets for mine, too. With the scoop it really works!

Injen is fine. Good quality stuff. Nice casting on the throttle body "hat."

I went with the GMPP because, after seeing the pics of it when it first came out, I wanted to make it functional "ram air" (as "ram" as any of the stock GM "ram air" systems are, anyway). If you don't plan to do an RKSport hood or cut your hood up (why hasn't ANYONE on the board followed me in this? - Was I CRAZY or what?) I'd go with Injen, probably.

But it ain't as cool as my CF scoop!

GMPP if you want a cool SRI that is easy as ***** to install.
Injen if you want either SRI or CAI. But it's got a oiled filter so it might mess up your MAF
AEM for good CAI with dryflow filter.
Fujita if you just like spending extra money
EBAY if you're a cheap bastard. Hell you can get an EBAY intake and slap a good filter on it. Same dif.

Yeah but then you've got a gimped up airbox. And that's still the equivilant of a SRI.
