    Which intake has the most power gain?

    I have been looking at some AEM and Injen cold air intakes, but I do not know which would give more power. If there are any other brands that are also good, please let me know.

    Both will give you very minimal gain and its power that you wont really notice on an 8G. SO which ever you get will be a good choice. Some buy their from ebay as well.

    Regardless of the brand name, or anything else the only "limiting" factor on an intake system ultimately falls on the filter itself (along with engine modifications associated with the overall build). The standard air filter replacement for most vehicles is farily restrictive, thus why companies such as K&N came out with higher flowing filters to allow more air to pass through them. The amount of air that will flow through most aftermarket air filters now days will yield you maybe 1-2 hp, if not more depending on what engine modifications you have done.

    If you want an intake system that will really make any difference over the stock air filter, or air box assembly, then look into a well designed cold air intake. The only benefit will be that it will take in much cooler air than one like a short ram intake that will only get heat soaked under the hood.
