Ok guys...I'm planning on switchin intakes...I currently have the Weapon R intake...grrr...that thing almost has a damn hole rubbed on the side of it...so i been researching and done a lot of extensive comparisons of intakes and performance that they give. AEM and Injen are probably the 2 best out there on the market. Here's the point...I'm stuck on deciding which one to get!!!! The AEM CAI or the Injen Race Division CAI...
If you guys can lend your honest opinion that would help...Thanx

The gains from each respective companies are in the same area. It just comes down to pricing and personal interests. I took Injen cause of its speciality in intake design plus i got a great deal on their RD CAI.

Im biased, i love the R&D injen puts into there intakes, but AEM for some reason have better hp numbers, not including they just produced a CAI to Short Ram system for our cars..

Looks is the only difference between any of these intakes. They are all the same just with a different name on them.

Write the names Injen and AEM on sperate pieces of small paper. Fold them up, put them in a hat and pick which ever you draw. I think thats about what im gonna have to do. https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif

We had this discussion the other night in TGC chat. I believe Reelax has the Injen CAI and switched to AEM because the injen rubbed on his battery post as well. Honestly, I would go with AEM. If I had to do it all over again, I would.

yeah i had the INJEN gen 1 cold air... it placed the MAF down next to the filter behind the left fog light. it was a 1 piece polished pipe intake and could not be converted back to short ram. the lack of clearance to the battery tiedown caused it to rub a hole like some of the old weapon-r shortrams did. i swapped it out for an AEM cold air w/ bypass which is 2 piece and can b converted back to short ram. the INJEN RD cold air intakes are almost identical to the AEM version. both use k&n filters... the only difference in the 2 are the AEM can use the optional bypass for wet weather driving and injen has a splash gaurd. AEM or INJEN? white bread or wheat bread... up to you.

now AEM just came out w/ a v2 intake, but i don't know if it is available yet for the 3G (same as 8G) and i don't know if it is much better...

Didnt they say AEM's new V2 are only for manual transmission?

Are CAI's even worth the money for the galants? I heard the stock intake was already well made .. just modify it to make it cold air. If your going for looks, I guess spend $250+

I'm new to this board but I have been keeping up with it to start modding my 02 Galant, I am in the process of making my own cai, I have eveything tig welder etc to do anything. I will start with the cai, then exhaust, maybe the header, then later make a turbo kit depends how busy I am. If any one is interested I will post some pics in about a week, depending on schedule. All I do is custom fabrication, This car is an auto but can make the pipe however i like to where nothing hits and will look like a store bought product.
Post or email me if this has any interest.

For looks I would definitely get Injen........AEM colors are very dule......</div>

actually now the aem colors are really nice. they have polished, red, silver and blue. and to top things off, they now come with color matched fittings to go with the intake.
