New intake kit - AEM or K&N?

I'm gonna install an intake kit in my Pro. I'm getting either an AEM or K&N. I know either won't give a huge performance difference but the AEM is around $100 cheaper. What do you guys have and what would you recommend?? Is there any noticable sound (growl)?? I have a Magnaflow exhaust and wondered if it would add to the nice deep tone. Anyway, thanx for your input.

See my sig---E-bay intake will do nicely also, but I really like the monsterflow filter.

^ Agreed. The only difference you will see is in your wallet.

If you look up my user profile you'll see my engine bay with my ebay CAI in. All you're paying for is piping and a filter, so just get the ebay piping and get yourself a K&N filter or a MonsterFlow to replace the ebay one. Will net you like $100 cheaper at least.

If you're just running the engine stock (with minor upgrades) you won't come even close to the limits of airflow on either filter. They both provide enough surface area to supply more than enough air flow to the engine. I've heard great things about the monsterflow, but never really thought it would make much of a difference of like a K&N

vielster is right, but, like I said earlier, I am really impressed with the Monsterflow.
