Injen I believe is the foam/oil filter, similar to the HKS green foam intakes. I have personally owned a Blitz Intake and it is the easiest of the "washable" filters. The Foam filters tend to dry rot inside and send small chunks into the engine...probably not the best thing.

The K&N drop in filter is the best as far as keeping sound down, and ease of installation, but I think it gives the least HP, whereas the HKS foam gives the best results(on RX7's anyways), but is more dangerous as time goes buy.

If I had to choose, I'd pick the Blitz

I had an injen cold air and it was great, i ended up making it short ram though, coz it rains quite a bit here but other than that i loved it.

Perrin and Green both make excellent drop-in panel filters too. I'd do that with the stock box and the silencer mod with the velocity stack or fender plug.

I agree with Choku Dori, if i had to choose between the two suggestions, i would go with blitz. Right now i'm running a PE enterprise short ram with no problems. Stock box with a high flow panel filter aint bad either.

Injen's filter is paper oil type, not foam. And thier cai definatly will NOT throw a cel as some others. I wouldn't pay more than one hundred dollars for any aftermarket intake though, so I'm selling mine for 60 bucks shipped.

( Shamless plug succesfully inserted.)

CAI? I have heard some not so good reviews about the CAI from quite a number of tuning houses saying that it enhances the risk of getting moisture to the engine thus damaging it. It does have a very racy look due to its polished finish. but i guess it has to boil down to the air/ fuel ratio regulation to enhance the performance. The Blitz Sonic Power Filter looks much like a Dragon-Slayer doesn't it? Have yet to find out about the power/ torque hike though. Comments please.
