K&N intake is a waste of money. Do the resonator delete with a k&n filter for the same effect and save ~$150.

 

Correct and real world dyno numbers would reveal that the CAI yielded maybe 2hp more. No thanks, I'll save the ~$150 for something else.

 

Puddles aren't a real issue with the CAI. Flooding however is. If your area has frequent flooding and you expect to have to drive through it, just put it in SRI mode like the other intakes.

K&N intake is not a cold air intake. it is a short ram with a heat shield.

 

and i prefer the injen

 

I'm a big fan of K&N Intakes, no issues. If you're going to run the short ram setup, I'd go with the K&N as it comes with the heat shield vs the Injen or ZZP.

Wasn't there an issue a while back where the Injen intake was throwing codes?

 

I've never once had an issue with error codes, and i've had it for about 3 months. When i installed it i got like +5 mpg

 

every time i fill up i reset the MPG thing on the dash. After the intake it was reading 4-5 over what i was getting before. Not so much anymore now that it's colder out

 

It's all merely preference, do a search on google for SRI vs. CAI and it can help you decide

 

With the bypass & drop in my IATs are 1-3 degrees above ambient. $41 for a filter with shipping from ebay and 10 minutes total to do the bypass and swap filters...and unlike the injen it won't suck up a puddle and hydrolock the motor.

It's also quiet, and i can't imagine there's much if any difference in restriction considering how tiny the stock turbo is.

 

:eusa_clap: Exactly my point! And by doing the resonator delete with a new filter, you have essentially created a SRI.

 

Yeah with the Injen you can choose whether you want it to be an SRI or CAI merely by installing the elbow pipe or not
