AEM or K&N

gtbigup01 · Nov 27, 2009

I'm about to pick up an intake now but it seems like the most folks g with AEM, well I see the K&N claims 11HP at like 5300 rpm and the AEM claims like 12 at 4700. Well we all know we'll hardly ever see those numbers, so what reason most of you chose the AEM over the K&N? Sound / Quality? Oh is $285 shipped a good price for the AEM brute force

i just went with aem cause my local hook up was $190 picked up. check out autoanything.com as they have %15 off today with free shipping.

i went with AEM mainly because of looks. i got the silver powdercoated version. i wanted a metal intake tube, unlike airaid, and i didnt want chrome cuz im probably gonna get the tube painted.

that Spectre brand someone was selling looked pretty good for WAY less. gains were very close. there were a ton of reviews of people that have them and love it. what do you think?

seems like there is no option for the denali when asked to choose sub-model. Only 4.8 and 5.3

i bet it would still work. i think most these CAIs works on the 4.8 and the 5.3 so it might work on the 6.0. i dont know anyone personally who has used Spectre though.

All 4.8 and 5.3 systems will work on the 6.0, I love my AEM easier to maintain and made good power on my 02. Oh and K&N bought out AEM because they couldn't compete with their filter media...if you can't beat em, buy em.

So what ur sayin is AEM is the same as a K&N, just the Luxury brand, Like Toyota and Lexus, Honda Acura, Nissan Infiniti. You get the picture

. Oh well I'll buy the AEM one
