i just bought the afe stage 2 afe intake of a member here and its really quite becuase its all inclosed( i like that better) ,the injen will give you a better sound, i think, but maybe more heat soak.
i got the afe cause it was a good deal. and im sure the injen and afe def flow a little better than stock.

Well I will let you know about the Injen next week. I just ordered one. I went with Injen because there is no F'n way an intake is worth over $400. I got a great deal from mod b. I would disagree Mos on the Injen possibly giving more heatsoak because the Injen is enclosed as well and vents to the front. From another member on here that had both said the AFE is quieter than the Injen. On the Injen he said you can hear the turbo spool more which is what I would prefer. One of the cheap thrills of having a turbo..LOL.. You can't go wrong with either one, but the Injen you can pick up for 200 less than the AFE and when both don't do anything but add sound, then I went with the cheaper one and the one I thought looked better. The AFE looks like a plastic toy.
