Go with the intake..........lol

honestly though, it really depends on what your other mods are, if this is going to be your first mod, i would get the cai, if you have an exhaust already then maybe go with the header,

i've been out of the n/a mods for awhile now but the only concern other than the price i have with that header (usually pay for what you get) is that the downpipe is a slip fit, which in the past i have found not to be the most reliable ( leak wise ) i prefer the flanged fitting yet some people will swear by the slip fit, to each his own.


Mods:
CAI, OBX exhaust, Grillcraft grills, altezzas, ard ryver g6 17's wrapped w/ falken's, VIS racing c.f hood, 2 12" kicker comp's w/pioneer h.u, streetglow blue undercars, red dash kit, indiglo guages, n other shit

First thing I would do is search the BST section here on 2GNT for someone selling either. Neither is going to really provide gains I would pay more than $75 for.

We've gone over this time and again. There's less than 10whp to be had from both. A header will improve mid- to top-end performance and an intake is an intake. I live in Phoenix, where it almost never rains, but I wouldn't use a full CAI. That's hydrolock just waiting to happen.

For a rare few. I ran one for years here in colorado with snow, rain, sleet, puddles, ponds etc. with no problems. But to each his own...

Forget the AEM, buy a cheap ebay header (as you linked above) & and a cheap Short Ram intake, or a cold air that doesn't go all the way down.
