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 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
