injen vs k&n vs fujita CAI

[Entity]

Hi, i did a search but it seems the only compary doesn't include the fujita (but has the comptech icebox instead)

i was just wondering which of these were the best bang for buck?

i've heard good things about injen but to be honest the sp1430 is abit too loud for me.. it has a great sound but i think the noise will eventually peeve me off.

the k&n is also great, sounds pretty good but i've heard is not as good a performer.

the fujita seems the cheapest, but is there a reason for this? is it genereally a reputable brand or just is it lacking something?

The Injen, K&N and Fujita are going to be around the same noise level and performance. They are all loud at full throttle and above 4000rpm. Don't believe anyone who tells you the K&N is lacking in performance vs the Injen. It is not true. The only relatively quiet intakes on the market yet still improving performance use a panel filter like the Icebox and the Mugen (I haven't heard that yet).

I agree with yfin.

Also, the fujita is cheaper, but is a 1 piece. Both the K&N and Injen are 2-piece and can have the lower hose removed to have the intake work as an SRI.

K&N is one of the most famous intake/filter manufacturer man...

[akira]

so which one would be the best in terms of performance and noise level?

All 3 are very similar.

it is all about your budget and target

CAI like injen give u a loud noise over 4000rpm and got great improve on high end but lag on low end.
Drop in filter like K&N gave you slightly more airflow but dont expect much
Airbox replacement like Mugen and Icebox give u improve on high,mid and low end but wont have so much high end like Injen

i'm aware of that but i don't like the idea of a SRI anyway so the one piece doesn't bother me much (you will need to remove that one bothering screw when you are removing the stock anyway so may aswell install the full CAI)

other than that, is there any reason not to get fujita? like a bad rep or anything? because it seems if they all put out a similar noise then i may aswell just get the one piece fujita

but it has been shown that the k&n cai does not seem to have the low end lag, propably because of the 2 1/2"inch tubing as opposed to the 3" tubing of the injen.

I have the K&N cai and I love it and would recommend it to anyone!
but I would not be afraid to test out the fujita, looks like a good product.

Can you back that up with something H1? Cheers. I know Euroaccord13 has that product and he noticed the drop in the low end.

No drop in low end? Are you talking about the Typhoon system?

CAI will almost definitely cause a slight drop in the low end.. I have seen it for myself in multiple tests performed with my car on SRI and CAI mode, I even took it to the strip and my 60ft time confirmed that I lost abit of power on my lower end of the RPM band...
