Thread: Aem vs Injen vs RMR Short Ram

When injen R&D on the intake for this engine stock. It had the same gain to the user with the header. The gain you won't get is the end number of rwhp due to the lack of headers and exhaust. But you can expect a same range of power. 2 people can have the same exact model car and the same exact mod and have different numbers. But those numbers will be close in power. I might achieve 270rwhp and you 266rwhp on the same mod. My gain was 15hp and yours was 11hp. Its not an exact science. But does that make it a bad mod? No. A short ram wl most likely still only produce half or less those numbers.
The average crank horsepower gain in -300+ hp cars give or take 30hp with intake, exhaust and header is 30-40hp crank. Its near universal. Very few sports cars don't meet this criteria.
The average intake-ONLY gain for the same power engine is 8-15hp.

Again what can you contribute other than being argumentative?

I guess I misunderstood your first post... many new owners with little to no experience tend to relate to their last owned car which is not a smart thing to do. I apologize... but my argument was my contribution... hopefully you understand.

There seems to be an issue with the replacement windshield washer fluid tank that is included with the injen cai. Just a heads up!

To your earlier post: I have the Injen CAI and there is no problem with the size of the washer fluid tank... I've had it refilled only once which was after I first had it installed since it was empty. It has been a couple months now... and I do use it frequently to clean my windows.

I also didn't have any fitment issues and it seems like the people talking about fitment issues are the guys with 3.8s not 2.0Ts, I have a 2.0T. I'm guessing the question comparing the intakes was for the 3.8 though

being that this is the 3.8 liter forum... I assumed we were all talking about the 3.8 liter.

yeah i just went to new posts and didn't realize it was actually under 3.8 until i posted :P oh well

I peeped that yesterday. It seems like its quite a few people but not everyone. Its gonna take some time I think to figure out if its human error of design or installation issue. In my G the issues were with the stillen intakes so I bought the injen. It seems like whatever intake yields the most power for a certain vehicle always has some kinda problem?? Hmmmm?

I actually think every aftermarket product has some sort of down fall which is why I think we should not go by name brand but instead by weighing performance, price and owners reviews per application. I guess thats an easier way to say what I had been trying to say all this time.

I am not saying not to trust certain company's I am only suggesting that everyone researches what others have seen on the Genesis Coupe as it will be different from that on a Sentra or Civic, then make an educated purchase. Noone should see anyone wrong with that.


The reason I am choosing AEM over Ingen is the size of the replacement windshield washer tank. To me a couple of horsepower isn't worth having to refill my washer tank every week.

Oh so now after givin up you thought about for 2 days what u were trying to say and come back to again prove nothing.
1st off... the injen, just barely came out in late jan. The injen did independent R&D the aem cooperated with hyundai on this matter. Your stupid lil washer fluid issue will need a new hose designed around the cai. Injen, aem, k&n all have had comparing issues in there 1st months. And I never seen any of these top 3 leave anyone high and dry.
2nd I was wondering why u chose to get over-emotional about this intake $h1t.
You are buying an AEM. So u need to feel good about your decision by having to put down other peoples preferences. Why not just say. I prefer AEM for the Gen. And don't take wat I said about the stillen submission. I didn't choose the stilllen over major issues. Difficult to install, removal of my front end. And serious hydro locking issues. I know with something as minor as a washer hose I can get injen to fix it or diy it, no issues.

You just really aren't sayin nothin except if I can save $30 bucks and have a guarantee that hyundai approves this part I rather take that one. A washer hose is a circumstance. Not a performance issue. And u had all those cars and u did all that stuff and can't DIY a fix for a hose? WoW! Incredible.

N no one was talkin civic or sentra comparo's I have an 08 altima 3.5se and an 09 infiniti G37s coupe that right now can run 4.9/13.4 sec fairly consistantly And I have done anything but the proper brake setup, proper lowering, alignment, tires, and intake. My altima has the same set up plus exhaust and it runs as fast as a V6 gencoupe. How my G n Altima is so fast with just an intake??? Proper break in techniques that go against the corny advice of the salesguy..

Aside from these cars I spoke of now I come from. 87 buick grand national, 93 mazda rx7(fully modded to the max) 98 nissan 240sx se, 98, nissan altima se, 06 monte carlo SS. Hated it n traded for an 06 infiniti G35 full exhaust/intake ecu mods... 2009, infinti G37s coupe suspension brake n intake, 08 altima 3.5se sedan susp. Int. Exh. Every car had a brake improvement I been dealing with imports for years. And all cars are different but I been dealing with these companies for a while now. I know they stand by there sh1t.

But it figures that someone cooming from the american car market would be so self righteous and narrow minded. THE INJEN AND AEM ARE BOTH EXCELLENT INTAKES.. YOUR CHOICE OF INTAKE WAS EXCELLENT. I'm HAPPY FOR YOU!.SATISFIED??? The injen gives out 1.5 extra hp. Its so minor but I choose to want the measely 1.5 horses. Jeez. And so far everyone on the gencoupe forum ain't worried about it. Ur the only one...
And its not ingen. Its injen. Get a grip.
I hope this guy doesn't go to the track and represent hyundai owners on track day... WoW!
I can't believe this guy. I'm done.
