Default AEM CAI vs. K&N CAI

What's the difference if there is one and which one is better?...Then there's always the Ebay CAI as well.

well i had an ebay CAI for awhile the filter is crap but other then that not a huge diff..... i just bought and installed the K&N typhoon CAI and i love it. it looks great and is deff better quality then the ebay one sounds better and gave me a bigger boost then the ebay.also mounts better inside the engine then the ebay.

as for between AEM and K&N i dont think there is a huge diff they are both good brands.

I have an ebay CAI that seems to work just fine aside from the horrible rubbing sound it produces, but other than that I would reccomend the AEM over the K&N 100%. The AEM includes a bellows tube, which if you're going to pay over $150 for a CAI it BETTER have one.

Adonik. Try some small (1/4-1/2") convoluted tubing around the hole in the fender where the CAI goes, it will reduce if not eliminate that rubbing sound worked wonders for me

I need a bellows tube... I guess I will put out the 150 sometime soon for a AEM (thought i have a K&N filter already) and it's better than the Ebay (my tube has a weld seam and all, not to mention I had to drill my own hole for the Vac tube

You can get one from your local autoparts store I got mine for 25 bucks locally and brand new and you should get a recharge kit while your there youll need it down the road to oil and clean your filter . Yeah I had the typhoon and hated it love my ebay intake with k&n filter way better and never had any rubbing problems . I had a injen in my acr srt4 . I hate aem and k&ns your just paying for the name.
