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

I have the injen intake with the upper intercooler piping and it great. I feel power gains and you can hear the stock BOV!!!!!! Mine is polished and it looks great to me

I'm looking at getting an intake soon and am also debating whether to get the AEM or Injen.
From what it looks like the AEM looks more favorable, but has anyone tested them both recently?

All these guys are just giving you a brand and no data to back it up. An intake is only as good as the tune behind it. If you dont get a good tune you will see little to none of a difference. Dont listen to the guys just naming a brand, look in the dyno section and see the difference in each. Its your money you can listen to the name callers if you like, I go for results not what the groupies are after.

I am also in the market for an intake and this post has been helpful. But like JaxRRevoX said, what about ETS. I do like the fact the AEM has the box and makes good power. I have never really like Injen (more show than go) from my experiences with my Subby.
AEM is also cheaper than AMS by far but AMS like AEM does alot of R&D.
Don't know confused as well.

im in the market too.
at this moment i'am very much attracted to the injen combi ( air intake + uicp )
i dont hear to much reviews on this one!! ???
anyone who is able to tell some more about the big differences..
NOte :
I REALLY LIKE the noise of spooling turbo and blowing BOV's , so as far as i have read the AEM isn't what i should go for ?
