Difference between different AEM CA Intakes?
I am barely beginning to learn about AEM CAI. Simple question, what would be the difference between this $80 CAI http://www.amazon.com/Toyota-Yaris-0...productDetails vs a more expensive $200 http://www.amazon.com/AEM-21-573P-Po...ype=automotive
Thanks! |

For starters the AEM has a higher quality, designed and tested filter, along with a true designed and tested intake tube. The other one is just a knock-off that's copied the AEM design by looks and has a cheap filter on it that could collapse and get sucked in. I have the AEM and love it, and it's held up well over the past 5 years and I got mine used.
It's your money, but I'd spend the extra for the AEM myself. |

You can actually find that knock-off for cheaper. Do that, and buy a quality filter and junk the one it comes with. (They really do fall apart)

That's what I did...
I got an inexpensive used Simota intake just for the tube, and then put a top notch BLOX filter on it. |

Nice. Blox is what I'm planning on using for my future "custom" intake that also uses a velocity stack. Sort of like yours
