Basically all CAI's offer the same kind of performance overall, it's either you sacrifice low end speed or gain top end performance, this is possible with either the CAI or WAI.
I don't think brand matters though as long as the set-up of the intake is basically the same.
The only thing about the CAI is that it is usually ran from a hole outside the wheel well on the Max and therefore requires longer tubing, which means it takes the air longer to travel before it reaches the engine, this is why there is a somewhat loss of power on the low end.
I can be wrong though if I were you I'd do more research before buying one particular brand or another based on the different type of set-ups for the kind of car(s) you may be interested in putting one on.
