Some people will tell you there is a difference in manufatures of intakes. Apparently the Injens have a powedercoating on them that is suppose to reduce heat. In thoery this is suppose to keep the temperature of the air going through the pipe down (thereby allowing more air to be sucked though).
I have 3 points to make for this...
1. The air being sucked in is going at too fast to be heated in the fraction of a second that it is going though the intake.
2. You're only seeing maybe 2-4 hp gains anyways so any gains from this will be too minor to notice.
3. It's only a pipe.
Pretty much all intakes will do the same job. You're only seeing minimal gains but the sound is way cool!
Apparently there is a difference between filters though.2002 Blackmica P5

never ehard about the injen intake being powdercoated ... the filter for it sucks, so you might as well just buy a k&n filter and get rid of the one it comes with ... i wouldnt really recommend the injen one, not many people still have it on their car cause of the problems it causes.Comment
