CT Engineering intake VS. K&N fipk intake
#11
Owned an AEM v2 CAI before my K&N (had a couple of scares during rainy days in SoCal ). IMHO, however, K&N is best satisfaction-for-buck (if that makes sense to you, lol). Really excited to see how it sounds with my Mugen Duals arriving tomorrow

I have the K&N with aut cooling plate works great. Bang for the buck it is great. By the way buy the K&N kit for the ap2 check for the correct years, there is no drilling required. Straight bolt on and works great.

CT-E looks better, does cost more, its fully enclosed and so prone to less heat soak. I have run it in the past and it sounds great.
The K&N is bang for the buck, it seemed louder than the ct-e maybe becuase the filter is exposed. Could be just me. But, I took it off as well.
Now I run a PRM jetstream with a AUT cooling plate and it seems to do the job well. I am not too concerned about heat soak - I jet-hot coated the Ricks header, the OEM heatshields that bolts to the header, the heat shield by the battery and also installed a moddiction engine heatshield (which I will jet hot later). I run the car hard and have touched the PRM tube and its mildly warm. I also have a K&N heatshield bucket laying around to modify for use with the PRM, but I am too busy to get time to make it work.

It looks like CT Engineering is the favorite 10 to 8. but it's about $155 difference. Still can't decide , anyone have sound clips ? youtube doesn't seem to have many good ones available.
