We have gotten nothing but good feedback on the Injen intake from our customers.

There is no "best". Rule of thumb is, if you want better low-end - get a CAI like the Place Racing (though you'd have to cut a hole first). Injen is arguable whether it's a real CAI or not. Frankencar is good for top-end.

But like all the past threads about this, all my statements above are arguable at best. The performance gains between them isn't too much different from one to another.

In the end it's about looks, sound and what you're willing to pay for it.

Instead of payin top dollar for an Injen (if thats your choice) Check first the 5th gen classifieds- There seem to be many people trying to sell theirs-

Anybody have a Weapon R Dragon intake or know or heard anything about them? They look good. Their site promisses higher gains than all the other intakes, including Injen CAI. They aren't very expensive either. Their site also says you can make them CAI with a tube and shield you can buy. Any feedback is appreciated.
