Injen CAI. Before my Exhaust, I could hear the CAI sucking in the air which was actually good sounding. After the Exhaust I cant even hear it anymore lol. I noticed low end gain which is a plus for an Automatic such as myself. My only issue with Injen is that it rubbed and I had to wrap the area with a piece of rubber and fixed the issue.

Yes, the pedal is more responsive. The difference was night and day! Yes, the Injen intake has 2 options with it. You have the choice between keeping it as a Short Ram or going full with the Cold Air. The Cold Air goes where the OEM snorkel went into. I've had mine on since last spring and recently checked to see how clean the filter is. So far still blue!

Also keep in mind that a Tune brings out the full benefit of a modification. Such as an aftermarket intake.

I had a injen. Not much hp gain, just a wee bit. It sounded a hell of a lot better though
