I'd get the AEM, but they're all pretty much the same.

I have the AEM as well, and like Awong said, they're all pretty much the same.

Welcome to the club! What color 6 do you have?

Best bang for the buck is yeah probably AEM, I think they are the least likely to throw a CEL, it may or may not throw a CEL.

But best peace in mind is the CPE which is pretty much double the price but does a little more than regular intake, and designed not to throw any CEL's.

welcome to the club.

If the purpose of swapping out your airbox is not for track or racing, it doesn't really make much difference whether you go CAI or SRI for us 6i. People who HAVE dyno'd have found that SRI's give you a very tiny advantage over the CAI (for 6i's).

The only real advantage i'd say you have from a SRI for us daily drivers in Vancouver, in my opinion, is just that the filter won't be as easy to get wet. But even with my CAI, i just taped up my wheel well vents, and i've never had a problem.

You can't go wrong with either choice.
