Injen vs. CP-E

[pepowdylan]

What are the pro's and con's of both?

[SleeperSolara]

INJEN doesn't have a heat shield unless you turn it into a CAI.
To tune it you will need a Apexi SAFC.

Here's a picture of a INJEN intake:

^^
The INJEN is where the blue intake ends usually.
The silver pipin' the extends to the fender is his CAI.

IMO go wit a CP-e intake.

CP-e intake:

^^
I like my CP-e intake better, though.
Just a big fat intake to take up that space, plus it comes wit a heat shield.
But minus the blue air filter.

Switch it up wit this K&N air filter:


There difference:

Go Cpe! That pink k&n filter is so BEASTLY!

Go Cpe! That pink k&n filter is so BEASTLY!

I agree.
Just save up for the CP-e.

I know.
Everytime someone wants to look at my car and they see that filter, their response is "damn..... that's a really big air filter!!".

U can buy just as big of an airfilter to fit the Injen intake.

[Chinky420]

just get the cpe if you can find one

[jetbtkng]

injen itakes are a quality product, as good as cpe, for half the price, bolts rite on , no cels, no tuning, i have them on all 3 of my toyota's, never a problem, great perfomance mod...............

How would the OBX compare to the injen and cpe

[akora12]

I've had both intakes, and the quality of construction for the cp-e is far better than the injen. With that being said, I'm still not convinced either are worth the money.

[GreeKAvaLoN]

^ yet youve had both? =P i'm pretty happy w/ my injen. it's a good soundmaker but it heats up a lot and i have a heatshield over the filter too. Time for a cai build..

[jetbtkng]

theres no difference in quality, there both aluminum tubes, and thats that......................

[akora12]

^The cp-e tube is thicker. You can dimple the injen tube by tightening the coupler clamps too hard. The cp-e also comes with a welded heat shield/bracket to mount the intake to the engine bay. I hate how the injen just hangs like an off-the-shelf honda intake. I wouldn't even have one if my UPFD extension didn't have a bolt down.

[jetbtkng]

thicker means it retains heat longer, also weighs more, in turn slows you down, extra weight, lighter is better for going fast, also theres nothing wrong with it hanging, thats 5 more hp, lol.....................

The CPE is WAY too much money.

[akora12]

With as loyal as we are to these intakes, you'd think we we're getting paid by the companies to sell them.
