I know AEM sells intakes for s13's and i'm pretty sure for s14's. People say they're better than injen, and they're also cheaper. Try their website.

Since AEM doesn't make one, go with Injen. Everyone will say that anyways. I have one on my S14 and it sounds great. There was no great power increase, but the sound was worth it.Josh

has anyone ever been to pepboys? you know the "APC" aisle

well i work there but thats beside the point, they have these really flexible tail pipe extenders, im just curious if anyone has thought about that for a custom intake, to the left fenderwell(where the battery WOULD be)

i dont know if it would leak under higher vacuum or anything, im considering it with my mods, along with the "get the 240" mod im working on right now

thanx a bunch

tino i think you mighta got screwed on your car. jeez, you needed new pads too!! i'd sue the people that sold it to you.....yea get the Injen. i have it on my s14. sounds amazing, looks good, and you can tell you get some more power. i helped a friend put a AEM CAI on his LS Integra tonight, and i am not impressed w/ AEM at all. it didn't line up well, instructions weren't very good, etc. Injen's stuff is easy to read and understand. i think you'll be satisfied w/ their products. : )

i found this intake at HKS and seems a bit pricy. $480 to $515kinda think of it as the regular Super Flow but with a wider pipe (looks like). what do u think does live up to the hype?

Doesnt filter worth crap, though I suppose most of us arent driving through excessive amounts of dust. I never really liked foam filters.

AEM makes for the 91+ DOHC, but no SOHC? I thought they did. Hmph!

Home depot is great if you use your imagination!

While I'm sure Injen makes a fine product, I can assure you the AEM fits PERFECTLY on the s14. The install was VERY easy, and the instructions were beyond detailed... not that you would need them.... because it is the most straight forward install of anything I have ever done on any car. FORTUNATELY, they don't make a CAI extension for it.
