Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior AEM vs. Injen

The injen is a little boggy in 1st, but just ride the cluch a little and launch at higher rpms and your gone.

So if:

AEM for low end power
Injen for high end power

Where dose K&N fall?

Anyone seen a dyno comparison?

I've heard K&N also makes a cold air system that can switch between being a CAI or a SR.

So What about the AEM V2.0 ? (saw on their website yesterday) anyone tested that one yet ?

When I did an application search on AEM's site for V2 I got the following message:

AEM does not currently have this product for your application.

This is a great page for AEM vs Injen:

Well Check CAI Sys.. I'm sure it's there saw it just yesterday let me check

EDIT: found em


The Science of Air Intake Technology Has Evolved.

The AEM V2 Intake utilizes a dual chamber (using two different diameters and lengths of piping), to create multiple frequency sound waves that help charge the cylinders with air throughout the entire rpm range.

We have realized significant power gains even over our original Cold Air induction systems with the AEM V2. We are confident that it is the most sophisticated, power producing air induction system on the market. Click on the V2 demo icon to see what's inside!

Key Features:




Outperform every other air induction system

Pending C.A.R.B. exemption (50-state legal)

Utilize a complete hardware kit with soft mounts for a guaranteed perfect fit

Unique titanium-look, zirconia-based powdercoating reduces heat soak and enhances looks

One-piece, four-layer, cotton-gauze AEM air filter eases installation and features an exclusive air horn design that improves Performance

Comprehensive installation instructions, AEM decals and license plate frame included

Manufactured and assembled in the USA

Limited lifetime warranty

Patent Pending

That is a great general product description, which can also be found on AEM's site, but where dose it say they make one specifically for the Celica?

Well I found it trough searcing for Toyota Celica parts
(trough the application search on the left)

I just installed my Injen RD CAI on Friday...I'm luvin' it! I notice NO low end Bog...it feels powerful through-out all rpm's...especially in lift! Damn I love how loud it gets...it scares old people walking down the road!

I dont think the v2 is out for the celica since the gen 2 hasnt even been out that long

I wonder why he didnt post graphs of the trial header with his mods he should be around 14.1 - 13's and IMO the single best mod for the gts would be pfc not Intake.

i have AEM..the but the subject has been discussed thoroughly

Dyno is better and cheaper

yea TPR dynoed better than AEM and Injen and its cheaper too...only 150 + shipping, comes ceramic coated in anodized blue, red, chrome and aluminum colors and they also do custom colors for 10$ more. It comes in a two piece so you can switch from CAI to short ram with ease.

Theres a whole write up on New Celica and Team Celica Performance forums with dyno's, pics, videos, and timeslips. 15whp over injen at 6300 RPM. about 13 over AEM at 6300.

You can pm me for details.

AEM

TPR

sorry felt left out

AEM

AEM all the way

AEM

...

give it a few weeks and let TPR make a name for itself

How much do both of these systems cost?

Injen 200 + shipping
AEM 220 + shipping
TPR 150 + shipping
Ebay 50-60$

HUm another AEM vs. Injen thread.. humm just buy any of those two.. you can't go wrong with those two.. there are no losers only winners.. Both are way better than the stock airbox..

Wow, that's pretty cheap.

which part? the cheapest i ever found injen was 200 and the cheapest i ever found aem was 220. I know the TPR is 150. lol and ebay just varies

What's the best shortram Intake ? since I live in holland.. and I dont want to get to much water in my engine

I've made up my mind, I'm getting AEM when I get back.

The "Best" Intake is the one that dose what you want it to.

The major Celica Sri's that I know of are made by:

Blitz
Injen
K&N
Rod Millen

Each has it's own strengths and weaknesses.

Personally I don't think you would go wrong with any one of them.

At the moment I have an Injen CAI and I think it works great, but this summer I plan to get an AEM CAI just to experience first hand the difference and make my own decision which one is best for where and how I drive. Come the winter Id like to try an SRI or go back to stock. Have fun with it.

Thx

TPR also makes an SRI.

AEM

Its too bad i cant link to multiple threads on New celica and Team Celica. theres some more reviews over on those boards

I'm just about sold on a TPR CAI.

ebay Intakes copy the AEM cause they make the most power, look at a injen dyno and you will see that you actually loose lots of torque down low vs. stock.

does that mean ebay is gonna copy TPR now that it makes the most power?

AEM

How about this? Why not just go with the AEM since it is low end and not go Injen since it is high end, considering like for me for example, i got a STOCK GTS and i am sure everyone knows that the GTS Land Lift kicks in about 6000 rpms so your high end torque is already built in from toyota. Basically my point is for the GTS people go with AEM for the low end torqe. And the GT people go with INJEN? sound logical enough or am i just an idiot hehe?!?!

y not go with an Intake that gives both low and high

exactly my thinking
at first i was sure iw as going to get injen (most of my friends have injen parts so i figured reliability/quality)
but when i looked at the graphs of both manufacturers, and alittle bit of research, AEM was the better mod for the GTS i think

^^Exactly. AEM works better for a GTS,because it's power comes in later. Since the GT's power comes in lower, get Injen to get more up top.

The aem's power comes in down low, up top its gains are minimal (like 5 HP) compared to TPR and Injen that gains 7-8HP up top

Easy_C you told us over 10.000 times.. we know you think you rock..

Not everyone reads every thread Saddy, educating people is the best way to get the point across to everyone, even if its said a few times. Hell, I see ad's for the same product in the same magazine 2 or 3 times. No need to get offended by it.

preach on brotha...soon everyone will know the powa of the "fins"!

Thank you CT, you know what I'm talking about!

Easy you talk so much about this TPR Intake

So where can you get it

the website isnt complete yet, but the shop is up

www.tuningprecisionracing.com/shop [tuningprecisionracing.com]

or you can pm me.

I have had The AEM cai, the Injen, and now i have the TPR, easy c Intake.

TPR has the BEST gains! its dyno proven. And can convert to a short ram. Also it costs less and LOOKS AWESOME! No bogging and NO CEL, because of the FINS.
Your a fool to buy any other Intake. if you do have fun with your CEL, I am just glad its gone... for good.

Well Some people like to have their CAI Carb aproved so they think you're the fool because you bought something wich is not legal

CARB only counts in California. theres 49 other states not to mention ive had about 20 % of my orders from California alone, so I don't think THAT many people mind. But you are correct, it isn't CARB approved.
