Injen CAI vs Stillen Gen 3 Intake

Im thinking of switching my injen for the Stillen Gen 3 Intake, is it any better sound wise? the reason that i would switch to the stillen intake is the better chance of not hydrolocking, and the stillen makes it easier to clean out the filters etc...

search is your friend, and it's a personal preference, do you care about sound or gains or both or what?

Looking both the best sound and power.

Stillen is 498 brand new, Injen you can get 450 brand new I believe (I think I saw 400 before). So 498/14.5 (my HP gain on stillen) and 450/4HP (I think that was the HP gain on Injen)

Well, I'll let you do the math

BTW, a footnote for you, Injen claimed 14hp, and Stillen claimed 18.5hp

My personal input:

I LOVE the sound of both, Injen sounds mean as well as Stillens.

Yet again, are you really going to feel a difference in a couple of ponies? Doubt it... Go with the cheaper route.

4HP from the Injen?

Not that it matters to me, personally I'd go the Stillen route...although I'd like to see AEM come out with an application soon.
