hrm.... hearing it when you installed it and etc. I'd say stick with the injen one. I mean it's louder and has that "aftermarket" sound to it. F-sport only has that sound when you REALLY rev it. Most of the time I just hear my exhuast and that's about it. Just slap the sticker on the injen and switch it out

hm..I can barely hear the F-sport Intake with my aftermarket exhaust
so at this point..I'm not sure what to do..

but I think I "feel" a little gain in performance
i feel like I get a better throttle response
hm.........

Isn't the injen a SRI and the f-sport is CAI. SRI, you loose HP because your sucking in warm air into the engine.

Lol sorry, direct injectors. But yeah most likely because it's an open intake. I say just keep the Injen and sell the F-sport to someone who missed out

Glad I could help.

I think Ingen sounds and looks better, but I favor F-Sport cuz it's OEM and CARB approved.
