What effects does a CAI and tune have on the longevity and reliablity of a car? I know driving habits are going to play a big part as well as other mods, but generally speaking?

The different tunes allow for different octane, and in the case of auto's, different shifting points? Will that kill the transmission earlier?

Any feedback on the CDC Shaker CAI, Steeda CAI or WMS High Velocity CAI?

Cover or No Cover for the filter..? Also - suggestions on type - I really like the metal elbow look - would prefer not to have to run high octane gas every tank if I don't have to. We are already $3+/gallon for 87. I have read lots in various posts about the C&L. Understand K&N doesn't do too much...?

The cdc shaker isn't a c.a.i. its a hood scoop. It really doesn't add any hp, from what Iv'e heard. But they do look cool. Does anyone know the cheapest place to order the c & l street intake and xcal tune?

I heard that the CAIs don't filtrate as good as the stock filters. Doesn't that affect the engine over time?

The Roush CAI and the Airaid CAI are the same thing, so if you look around on the forums for Airaid CAI's you'll find what you are looking for. As far as I have read, the Airaid CAI is not the best out there, but by far not the worst and seems to be well liked by those who have it. For the best gains you'll need to retune.

Order from either Brenspeed or B amachips. Not to say there is anything wrong with Evo, but these two are considered the best.
