getting information from their website is different from actual people that have it. They put stuff like 10 hp gain. I want to hear advice from people and suggestions on which is better. Do not post here if your no help.

There's a thread comparing AEM CAI to the Revi and air duct? If its a stupid thread then just don't post anything on it. I didn't find it in the search so i posted a thread for normal people to help me out. Not for someone to come and talk like they own everything.

LOL you guys are so harsh for the Price $315 Shipped for the AEM Intake it is worth the money. You will be more satisfied with sound and response.

Although I will say RB makes a very nice intake, but a bit costly I think.

PM if you want one....

Hey man, I live in Glendale too. I have the RB ram air intake with the RB REVi. I like it a bit better because it's a bit quieter than the AEM CAI, and it looks stock. RB makes some really quality parts (AEM does too though).

I've had both the AEM and RB in my car.
You won't notice a "performance" difference, but they do produce different sounds.

Power is up on the top end. You hear some more sound, but not obnoxious. If anybody tells you they can feel 6-8 hp, they are lying through their teeth.
