i have a rsx and i want to put cold air intake but i'm not sure which one is better

AEM due to the drycharge filter also they are tuned for your vehicle

Don't waste your money on that. It is garbage that does nothing for you. Learn some stuff about turbocharging. I'm sure there are a few turbo kits out there for your application. You get what you pay for. Also, the more power you make and the more you modify, the more it will break in the future.

i agree with Joseph 2 a certain extent. turbocharge it. or supercharge it. but b4 u do u gotta build ur bottom end with maybe some Manley pistons and eagle rods, then if possible port out ur head that will lead u to upgradeing 2 a skunk2 intake manifold and a throttle body, with that theres no need 4 a cold air intake. but 2 answer ur ????? i would go with the AEM intake

I can't say for certain since I've no experience with Injen other to say that it seems to be a popular brand. However, I have a lot of experience using AEM's CAI in both our V6 Accord and in our Acura TL, and the product performs well...I could highly recommend it for the most logical & cost effective way to add performance.CAI systems DO add horsepower by reducing the internal intake flow restrictions consequential to factory-installed resonator boxes, and due to CAI systems using high flow filters. And per the product's namesake, it introduces a denser & more oxygen-rich (colder/cooler) air mass, with no ifs, ands or buts about it, add dyno-proven horsepower. And you'll read many a performance modification article that will recommend teaming a good CAI up with a performance exhaust (e.g., catback) system. Combined, both approaches provide relatively inexpensive, reliable, and measurable (up to 10% combined total) increase in powertrain output...all w/o risking violating factory warranties. What you lose is tolerating an increase in noise level...some like the grumbles & throaty growls these mods bring. Off-topic, but insofar as forced-induction has been recommended (above posts) as superior to a CAI system, well that's mostly an apples-to-oranges discussion. Forced induction has its place, but not for most 'driving Joes' who simply want a bit more power w/o the cost of serious modifications. Superchargers & turbochargers are a much bigger committment that require professional industry experience to do it right, and when once installed, will guaranteed, reduce the life of your powertrain while also requiring the use of premium gas...substantial power gains come at a cost. Moroever, not all engines will tolerate forced induction systems w/o a rebuild of engine internal components...it's a whole other ball of wax than simply bolting some power add mods like a cold air system on. Yes, there are bolt-on turbo kits, but it's a lot easy to put your engine at risk with them than with simply freeing up intake/exhaust restriction as mentioned earlier. Have fun!

Go with this AEM Intake System. http://www.aempower.com/ViewCategory.aspx?CategoryID=30

Don't listen to them, most people go with injen intakes it's just as good as AEM and it's more affordable
