Looking to put on a CAI to my N/A KA24. I see Injen and AEM have a set-up. Who else does? What's the favorite everyone is using these days?

I tried to search the for sale section and it doesn't seem like many are for sale.

i use the injen cuz they have a cold air that runs down under the front bumper, its an extra but well worth the money as n/a kas need all the help they can get. just also buy the hydro cover thing, it slips over the filter and helps stop water from being sucked into the intake.

i wouldnt buy the intakes due to emission control and if your planning to go turbo later in the future, it will be a waste money. hope you choose wisely...

The AEM short ram intake is 50 state legal, so emissions with isnt an issue with that specific intake.

Make your own.

Buy a cold pipe from anyone here who is parting turbo set-up.
Relocate battery to rear.
Relocate MAF to passenger side.
WIN.
Shorter tube, on the colder side of engine bay. If you want to run it cold air you can do it also.

Yes, this. It's more work/money than it's worth unless you're planning on staying NA for a while.

I picked up an Ebay intake. Some may ask why, so let me explain... The previous owner to my car took the airbox out of the car, added a filter, and the tied wthe OEM intake tubing to the radiator with cloth (ala Rambo bandana). It lookd terrible and isn't really structually sound. The Ebay intake was $45 shipped. It can replace that Frankencrap on my car, clean it up for now, and if I later want to go turbo I can sell it just as cheap. If I want to paint it, I'm not going to stress about it.
