Actual heat shielding that's blocked off from engine bay, pulls from the factory holes and wheel wells, non-metal piping. I've seen the K&N's close up and they look like cheap intakes from the '90s. The AEM looks nearly OEM and is better quality in my opinion.
I wanted the sound more than anything (love V6 induction sound) which is why I went for the AEM over the long tube intakes. Well, that and paying $600 for an intake is ******* absurd in my opinion.
Summit carries it and they have sales pretty often. I think I paid $300.
Really just whatever is most important to you. In the end they're all piping within a few HP of each other.
