Post Airaid vs AEM

Hi guys, Which CAI system would you or did you go for & why? My main interest is power gain not price.

If you use the search up at the top and look for CAI or Intake you will find a lot of comparisons that have already been done.

But the Big difference is that the AEM is oil free

Went with Airaid on the first jeep and didn't have a reason to not get the Airaid on the JK. No issues on either Jeep with it.

I went with Airaid because I found a good deal on it. I like it, seems to be made well and the instructions were very good also.

I went with Airaid solely because the deal I got was far better than anything else out there, and I wasn't going to spend big money on a CAI for the minimal gains. As for the gains, I can't imagine there is much difference between any of the major brands.

i've had both and honestly i can say they are both very nice and easy to install.
i like the aem i have now because of the dry filter , no nasty oiling and cleaning of the filter.
