I have the injen and my buddy has the K&N and i can tell you without a doubt to get the K&N. The install, fitment and overall quality is much better than the injen. With the K&N you dont use any stock parts whereas the injen uses the stock mass air flow sensor housing. GET K&N!!!

Hmmm, thats tough... Both are pretty good. I have an AEM, way better then the restrictive stock unit.

As far as heavy rain problem, there is a cut off device you can add to an AEM in case you are worried about that. But honestly, how big of a problem is that? My AEM is partially covered by the front bumper and I recntly installed the lower T-Rex grilles to help not have the intake too exposed.

I would go with the jwt pop charger. less and expensive and you will get about the same gains. I used to have the injen before FI.

I love my Injen. I have a bypass valve too, so no sweat in the rain. CA just hit the record amount of rainfall, EVER this season, and I had no problems.

its a known fact that CAI loses HP

why waste money on some crap when the stock airbox is already design to work as a Cold Air Intake. putting the filter down in the bumper isnt gonna suck in colder air.
and if u want sound, just get a Blitz SuS power filter and a Z-Tube.
