ONly the price? Whatever. I've seen enough AEM's and Injens, and their knockoffs, to know you get what you pay for.
Only one that is TOO expensive is the injen.

I got an ebay knock off and it works great. Even has the hole for the IAT Sensor. Saved a shit load of money that got to go into other mods. Figure out the style you want and then search around ebay for the same style from a reliable seller. For CAI, I'd say keep your money in your pocket and use it for other mods that may REQUIRE getting a high quality name brand part, like pulley's or cams.

i went through numerous CAI's which knocked off Injen and AEM.. the filter it comes with is shiityy and they don't bolt up to the proper mounting locations.. its a bit off.. which is a pissoff cause then you have to macgyver the stupid thing to fit..
through my experience with all the mods i've done on my car numerous times, i said don't cheap out from the start and get the good shiit.. there are exceptions where theres no need to get the expensive brands but if you want the best performance get the proven brands.

Well i made my own CAI..had some trouble with it, but now its done and runs greate..You dont need a big knowledge to do so..You can paint it and make it look watever u want.. You would save the money instead of buying the AEM..it just depends on what filter r u going to put on the end =)
