A little on the high end for pricing but anyone can find deals shopping around.

This was one of my first mods i've ever done to my car. All i have to say is WOW! Increase in performance was great, the sound of my turbo is just loud and its great! If you ever want to know where to start, start with this intake and you will see what i'm talking about. Its an amazing product!

Strengths:
-POWER, POWER, POWER -Looks Great -Sounds Great

Weaknesses:
-Instructions, what instructions????

Summary:
I just installed the Injen CAI on my car yesterday. I ordered the 2 piece intake that can be used as a Short Ram intake during "monsoon season" (In AZ)... The instructions are THE WORST ever. The pics are small and unclear. The hardest part was getting the stock intake off the car, front bumper cover removal was needed. After that the installation is fairly straightforward. I took the car out for a test run to see the difference... All the work was well worth it. At low rpm's all remains relatively quiet. At about 3000-3500 rpm's the engine breaks loose!!! The sound is awesome and the performance is even better. The gain in overall power is VERY noticeable. The pain in the a$$ installation is DEFINETELY worth it....

Strengths:
Great sound. Improved performance. Nice look under hood.

Weaknesses:
Pictures on instructions suck!!!

Summary:
I researched intakes for months, checking dynos for my vehicle, asking for details on the placement of the filter, trying to determine if I could get away with using a CAI in the Northeast. Well after finding out that on the matrix the filter is about 12" off the ground and tucked in the front corner of the bumper I decided the CAI was ok for my needs. I drive about 150 miles a day in any weather and have not had any problems with water getting on the filter. As for the performance, it is great!! A noticable increase, but don't expect too much. The growl it makes at wide open throttle is awesome!

Strengths:
Awsome Sound, Brilliant Polish Look, not as expensive as others. Quality product.

Weaknesses:
Still none but I'm afraid about any puddles since the filter is very low. Intructions suck!!!

Summary:
Definitly changes the look of the Vtec Engine. It sounds awsome and you can feel the power on the pedal. I think this CAI and a Cat Back muffler can definitly change your car from a Pinto to a Ferrari.
