Okay, I installed my Nismo intake a few days ago and do notice the more aggresive sound, throttle response and torque. I am fairly impressed, however I've been looking around and notice the Injen and Fujita intakes are getting good reviews. So, my question is, Is there a really distinctive difference in these 3 intakes? And which is the best for horsepower gain? Thanks.

There is not a noticeable difference in hp. They are all within just a few ponies of each other. The air temp,humidity, and altitude could have made the difference in the numbers.

Thats the thing with any CAI, you will notice a deeper intake sound,and they look cool when you pop the hood, but it would be very difficult to actually notice the HP gain as it is very minute in the large scheme of things. Without going forced induction, you won't be much better off as far as quarter mile times go.

Another added benefit of CAI's though is they improve gas milleage before i put the header on mine i was getting over 40 in my 03
