Alright heres the thing, ive been doing my research on intakes. Ive found that the highest rated are the Cobb, Aem, and Injen, but with each of them comes a weakness. And on here ive seen that the wrong intake can hurt your car, more than help it. Now the weakness's

Cobb CAI: From what I have read, the cobb's power cut off is at 5,300 rpms. That extra 700 can be vital sometimes.
Injen: Its not a big problem, but they say the filter hangs a little low, which can cause water suction. Where i live we get rain often.
AEM: It's a short ram. From what ive read on here, you need longer tubing, because the engine needs more air or something, since the engine has a fair amount of low end power.

Any help would be great!!

 

I read it on the subarureview.com This kinda confused me, he said that it started to decline at its peak (98hp) to like 53 hp. I thought the claimed hp was 165.

 

"After 5300 RPM car runs lean per Sport Compact Car, HP drop from 98 @ 5300 to about 58 or so HP, cant push to redline without a AFC Computer"

That's what he said, i donno maybe i read it wrong or something.

 

My Cobb does well all the way to the rev limiter. I just put it in today... its hella cool.
