if you're trying to get horsepower out of an intake, you're going to have problems honestly.
both k&n and injen are basically the same idea. a tube with a filter on the end of it.
just think about it and use your common sense. how could one make more power than
the other if they're basically the same thing? they'll do basically the same job and have
very similar results, I'm sure. they're the same basic idea.
if you want to compare intakes, then I'd do so comparing different approaches.
there's basically 3:
1. tube with a filter stuck on the end in the engine bay (known as the short ram or SRI)
2. tube with a filter stuck on the end down in the bumper (known as the cold air or CAI)
3. modified box with filter inside and modified air direction in bumper (known as an ice box)
if you look on this site, you're going to find tons of discussion on this, with very good
points. so it's going to be up to you. you might find people come in this thread and
say that whatever they bought (probably in an uneducated manner) is the best.
think about how they work, like I said use some common sense. they're all quite different
in a way but also quite similar. and in the end none if it really matters that much.
my opinion is that it's no contest. the icebox design, and how Mugen made theirs is clearly
the best working design. like I said, in my opinion.
