The only real reason to buy a cai is for appearance. How is it ghetto rigging something? All you do is remove one flexible rubber boot? It looks just the same as stock.

I dont care if it gave me any more power or not, I bought the JLT RAI. I just like the way it gives a cleaner appearance in the engine.

I have an 02gt and i was just cleaning her up today and decided to do some stuff to it. first off, i bought some wheels and tires, then i did the gas pedal mod, then i had to buy a new alternator because the diodes were bad and kept draining the battery, and lastly im goin to get a new air filter. I was just wondering if its worth while to spend the $50 bucks on a K&N drop in -vs- the whole system for an extra $200? would i see about the same gains? any info would be appreciated.

I have the March Ram Air with a Tunable Induction pipe. You will gain mileage and throttle response. Power? Most likely, but I don't go to the track and don't have a dyno, so the mileage increase and throttle response upgrade are all that I can attest.
The March system is a sealed ram air, which will perform better than unsealed. However, ram air also delivers a whole lotta dirt to your filter, so you'll want something that can take it. I run a 2-stage oil-based foam filter with an additional foam wrap around the outside. This has to be cleaned every 2500 miles along with the MAF.
