Also, how much of a pain is it to get to the filters once installed?
Can I reach them by popping the hood, or do I need to crawl underneath?

Maybe I can install my front bumper on hinges and just swing it up whenever I need to get in there.

True, but Injen has proven itself again and again, they dont just stick a filter in front of a pipe, but in fact do a lot of R&D and accordingly restrict and then expand the air channels throughout the piping for better performance, also unlike most intakes out there, Injen also keeps in mind the Air/Fuel Ratio and keeps it in line to avoid any engine damage, if you check their dyno on the site mentioned above you will see how they really make a TUNED intake system, and coming from experience as well, the car sounds and feels better as well.

Just my $.02...

Well the whole A/F ratio thing is a bit hokey as the MAP/MAS and 02 sensors are what the ECU uses to determine the amount of fuel to inject.

Now, did they tuck those filters down in a nice cold air location, yes and I believe that has more to do with the gains over the other systems out there. That being said, I'll be buying one, not because Injen is keeping my A/F ratio in mind, but because these draw cooler air that the MAP sensor adjust for and makes more power.

I totally agree with you, I believe Injen is the most proven intake company out right now. But I also think Stillen deserves respect in the automotive industry as well. What I meant to say is that there probably won't be much of a difference between these two intakes.....unless you have the short ram intake...which will probably make your car lose power if anything

And those sensors direct the computer to fueling tables and ratios.

And if you mess with anything in the intake or exhaust of a car, your stock "tune" is no longer valid. The only way to fix that problem is to retune your car for the modifications.

In some cars, a intake and filter swap can mess with the sensors enough that you lose power.

The idea of an intake is simple: cooler air, and less restrictions can make more power. But you have to take a few things into consideration: 1. How good is the stock intake. and 2. How sensitive are my sensors and tune.

Bottom line: it seems like an 07 G doesn't have much to gain from an intake swap. But, if you like how it looks and sounds, go for it.

So does the Injen include a reflash of the ECU? No. Cooler air is denser air and denser air can also be found at lower altitudes. Either way, the barometric reading the ecu see's go into the fuel equation. The ecu can take this into account. More power.

Blueslate had his car there and saw the dyno himself, it made more power.

pretty tempting offer, i had fujita's before... which i sold to somebody on this forum.. thanks though really wanted the stillen ones. I went through 3 intakes then went back to stock LOL Injen sounds promising but they're a little on the expensive side for now..

I'm on board once I know what I'm in for in terms of installation.
