K & N has a CAI

Post by St. Martin »

K & N has a CAI for about $150. I haven't found a Dyno anywhere, but I know K & N has kickass filters. Anyone heard anything compared to the Injen or AEM?

From what I have heard, the Injen or AEM produce more horsepower and torque than the K & N. The Injen and AEM are true CAI's while the K & N is considered a short ram. I hope this helps.

Thanks, I went ahead and picked up the Injen CAI/Borla exhaust package that they have on http://www.ptuning.com just now. Shipping and tax brought it to $575. I'm going to run a dyno after I install it and tell everyone how much power it brought to the wheel. Thanks for the help

Your welcome! And by all means, please make a post showing the dyno results after you install those parts. I'm sure all of us would like to know the performance difference!

I really don't have to work overtime for the stuff I want, I just want my stuff faster. I am working next weekend for my blue Injen CAI and blue Injen oil cap from Adventon.com.

Sorry, I misread the $150 quote. They offer it for $150 but not for the vibe. As for the money spent on the mods, my father recently won the lottery and shared a couple thousand with me. Of course I had to dump it into the ride!

The filter on the AEM is a K&N. I'm not sure about the Injen, though...

That's why I am getting mine from them also.As far as the filter element goes, the technician I talked to said that it was the same design as K & N, but not an actual K & N filter. He also said you treat it the same way as far as maintenance goes.

So does this mean you will share the love and help out other poor (meaning no money) Vibers?
