almost all intakes are going to give you the same sound...
your going to hear spool, and the stock bov aswell....
really brings the sound to life......i have just a cone filter right now, but i think im going to go with the injen... I have always found good results with them in the past...

AEM destroys Injen intake proven by dyno
trust me go with the AEM. It looks like a stock unit and sounds boring but I pulled a solid 26whp on the dyno. I actually had the dealer install the injen with their claims of 28whp Later I went and worked with Mike at Road Race Engineering. We dyno'd the inje, Aem and stock. I ran 250whp with the stock intake, 252 with the Injen a whopping 2whp. (needless to say I was Pissed) and then we put the AEM on and threw down 26 whp (no BS). On the road there was a substantial difference between the two intakes. The AEM was a solid power with solid low end.
Also to mention that while I was running the Injen for about a month I also had the Greddy Full cat back. I removed the greddy and placed the stock exhaust when we installed the AEM because RRE custom fabricated a full turbo back exhaust. During the week with the stock exhaust and the AEM intake it was better than the months of the Injen and the Greddy exhaust.
Bottom Line if you get any mod get the AEM Intake it is worth it

good choice. 
and before you ask, yes, there's supposed to be 2 holes on the suction pipe! 
the wastegate solenoid hose you pull off the OEM pipe, follow it back a couple inches and take out the splice adapter and plug directly in with your new lines.

just installed my AEM today ... sounds good, feels good on the butt dyno, looks good, and carb legal is a bonus.
pretty easy install except for mine not having the proper size vacuum hose.

same here. the hose is too big and the clamp won't go on. so i maneuvered it so i can still use the stock hose but its a really tight fit. gotta go to napa or something to get the same hose just couple inches longes.

AEM is a good intake because of the R&D done before the product is released. Our Harman Motive Intake is great also because of this reason. Great HP and TQ gains and also an optional Airbox is available that lowers intake temps 12-15 degrees at WOT! Check our intake out...https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=372229
