Better in terms of what? Price, fit, gains?
I upgraded to an AEM from a generic CAI simply because the AEM was better quality and fit better. I didn't notice any difference in performance over the cheapo one I started with. I'd suggest the Auto Warehouse CAI with a K&N filter. There's better things you can spend $300 for your car instead of a name-brand intake.

Check out the dyno sheets they pride themselves on their testing there is also independent testing finding the same if not better result from the V2 systems. These are tested on stock vehicles with nothing else done to them.

And those 7-10 horses are available at the high end of the rpm range...how often do you cruise around at 6000 rpm?
I say save your money.
