1. Injen short ram
2. Injen cold air intake (CAI)
3. AF Dynamic short ram
4. Mishimoto short ram

I'm driving a 1.5 Turbo CVT, any gain if I change the stock air intake since I had already done my tuning?

Stock, but if you if you really want a intake I'd recommend mishimotos only short ram one with a cover box which is essential to reducing heat.

A lot of the heat comes from under the filter so that top piece is almost useless. I think as of right now the consensus is stay stock, PRL stage 1, or PRL stage 2 Cobra CAI. Maybe even the Injen CAI, but I wouldn't buy Injen.

Why do they all suck? Suck air?
Mass produced brand names, except Mishimoto, but I don't know what they were thinking when they made a SRI, CAI would have been better, but besides that, not a lot of descriptive testing is done with the intakes, they quickly make a design and try to make a money, cause it's all about the money. Also it's funny because they do make money because they fool so many gullible people with fake dynos, blown up bold words on their ads saying it's the best, it's adds x amount of power and all these benefits which are false. And yes 99% of the short rams on the market will heat soak. It's been proven they barley make any power. I said PRL because they do amazing work, they do their research. They do extensive testing and show honest results, no fake BS with them, they have good customer service and don't produce garbage, they charge reasonable prices for their products and use high quality materials. They design a lot of their products with 3D printers, and use graphic design. I don't know many other company's doing all that. There obviously more companies like them, I know RV6 is on board with them. May be more to come in the near future.

Dude it seems like you're talking out of your butt. 99% of Sri will heat soak? Where are you getting these numbers? I'm sure most of us got an intake because of the sound and we all know no real gains come from an intake unless paired with a tune. I'm not going to pay a crazy amount of money for an intake when I know x intake is cheaper and does the exact same thing .

But that's the thing, it doesn't do the same thing, it makes more power and won't heat soak, not talking out my ass, I know. Also more then reasonable for price.
