Gonna order the AEM. Few more Q's:
*Would u say the powder coated finish dispates more heat than the polished finish?
*Do the newer AEM's come with the "DryFlow" air filter?

According to AEM, the material and coating makes no difference, since the air flow through the tubes is fast enough so as to negate any heat conduction effects.

Yes, all the newer AEMs are "DryFlow".

I bought my Secret Weapon Intake on ebay for $155 total. Definitely sounds better and most likely does improve gas mileage by a little bit.

i got my short ram from this site. AEM SRI and the Injen SRI Injen is about $50 more than AEM. and yes AEM does not show Hx's but if you get the Ex they will fit. have one in my Hx.

That's the cheapest i've seen it, that's where i got mines from. they were shipped promptly. got mines in 4 days, i think. buy you may find some on ebay or maybe a used one from the classifields or craigslist
