couple o questions

i know that aem is probably the best cai out there, but how do the dc and the injen hold up too it, they are both around $30-40 cheaper?

also im looking at headers and im not sure why i should spend an extra $90 on the polished headers, is the difference between the polished stainless steel and the ceramic coated really that much?

lastly whats a good exhaust system thats moderalty priced, i like the price of the a'pexi dunk series, but how does it hold up to say the greddy evo and the a'pexi n1?

thanks

Well, IMHO, spend the extra $30 and get an AEM intake. You can get them for $170ish shipped from www.groupbuycenter.com

As for the header, stainless should last longer and be more durable in general. You don't just get the looks.

The exhaust is largely up to personal tastes for the sound. If you buy a name brand, ss exhaust, you should be in good shape.

What I'm trying to say here is this: spend the money on quality parts in the first place, and you'll be happier and won't have to replace cheap junk.

Good luck

Injen holds up pretty good. Personally I've always liked AEM's quality.

The headers will only be polished for a short time. They will "rainbow" (no I don't mean turn gay). They discolor and look rather ugly in my opinion. Ceramic is good because teh coating will help disipate the heat. The downfall is that the ceramic can chip if they are not well made.

Greddy. Spend the extra money. You'll be glad you did.
