their all the same, buy the cheapest, fujita one i think.

forget the CAI because there is no true cold air intake, only a short ram with an air box thingy thats way too overrated and pricey.

I agree, you're not gonna see any real power gain, but it'll look nioce, sound good and potentially help out with mpg.

the ones from injen and stillen are still not cold air intakes. I say get the K&N because of its airbox design from the group buy some members are participating in, $250 shipped.

Here's the discussion on the K&N intake.http://forums.altimas.org/zero...age=5

As for the differences, K&N has an air box design while the injen/fujita do not.

i chose the k&n because it dresses up the engine and does not leave the engine bay looking bare. that was my deciding factor.

Hey David -

did you order the K&N Intake? I just did. if you missed the GB - just send the guy an email - he'll order one for you @ 249/shipped. I cant wait to get mine and install it. Let me know what you decide man.

It says CAI to market people who don't know the difference between a CAI and a WAI. There is no true CAI for our cars yet. If you don't like the K&N one or any other ones besides the Injen, then get the Injen! It's better for you to get what you like than for me to pursue you into getting something you will not like in the end.

Many people on the forums who own either one are happy with their purchase. So you'll be fine, plus the fujita one is cheaper :D
