Air Intake differences
I know there are tons of posts about the “CAI” more like short ram intakes. I really want to know which intake people feel is better between Injen and AEM for the 18’ IS 300 (200t). I have read that the AEM intake has a protective sleeve for the MAF which is cool, but other than that what does one do better than the other? Is it simply brand preference? Thanks in advance for any insight you guys can give me.

You can also get the AEM intake pipe which allows you to use a stock airbox and filter of your choice. Cause a full on cone intake will sound very loud on the 200t.
There's also the HPS intake tube (which i'm sort of interested in) which allows you to fly under the radar a bit (get it in black) and doesn't scream (I'm modded). Retains stock airbox. The bottle neck visually appears to be from the intake tube. the stock one shrinks down.

Injen's Intake:
:-) It's a really nice chrome, I felt the same way, but when I saw the black Injen intake installed on someone's car, I knew I made the right choice.

I absolutely love the sound. It definitely turns heads in public or passing by cars with their window down. WIth a stock box you can't hear the turbo spool and dump air, but with the intake it brings the sound out like no other!
I'm glad I didn't go with anything else because I got a great deal on the intake, and I don't think my expectations would have been blown away as hard from when I first heard the injen one.
