Injen CAI vs Stillen 3rd Gen Install

I've searched on the forum and seen various DIY's. What I want to know is, which is easier to install. My G's a lease and I dont want to do any cutting, drilling or any other serious modifications. I want a bolt where I can take it on/off easily. What do you guys recommend?

If you don't want to cut then get Injen.

Thanks.

Don't mean to go off topic here , just having a hard time deciding.

Obviously a Short Ram would be an easier install. It's b/t JWT pop charger or the new Injen, but really is there that much a diff compared to the CAI's?

If your deciding between JWT or Injen short ram get the Injen short ram, better head shields and non oiled filters. Search and you shall find answers.

As for CAI, it doesn't matter they both make great power, it just comes down to preference I guess.

Injen's heat shields have a better design. I've owned the JWTs and just checked out someone's Injen short ram on Saturday. I can't speak for performance of either one though. But between JWT and Injen short ram, I'd go with Injen.

Go with a short ram intake, to make installation MUCH easier. The cold air's like the 3rd gen's you need to take off the bumper, and the same with the Injen CAI. Short ram intakes are a "in your face" kind of installation, very straightforward.

Great thanks! Short Ram it is.

I know the Injen Short ram is new, so is it worth the jump in price vs the JWT pop charger? I'm very temped, Lou at amp is offering a great deal on it.

Also where are the gains to be seen, high/low end? I tried to find a vid, b/c I want to hear how this thing sounds...no luck.
