Default CAI with the upper and lower????

Should I get a CAI to finish off my intake when I get my intake manifold. I think that it might serve a purpose since I'll be sucking quite a bit of air.

No, CAI= cold air intake. I've already got a MAF and TB, I just thought that a cold air intake would look kinda cool with the trickflow intake and my chrome MAF.

i just installed a BBK fenderwell cai. it looks good and also gives you a cooler air charge. but make sure you get the fenderwell style or its a waste of time for real.

Maybe I'll get one just for the hell of it, I'll really be able to hear my intake then.

yea the fenderwell kit puts the filter in the fender and lets the motor breathe the cooler outside air. if you get one with the filter inside the engine compartmentit can actually hurt performance some from sucking in the hott azz air from in there.

I also like the BBK. I sold mine a while ago along w/ my Edelbrock Performer RPM upper/lower & my BBK 70mm TB and my BBk EGR and everything else because I was going to carb my car. Now I got a new one and I WISH I had everything back again

Looks like I'll be buying a CAI too, I think that I'm either going to go with a UPR or a MAC.

I have the MAC fenderwell. It works pretty good I guess. Gets the colder air from the fender well like the stock configuration without the restriction. As fas as "HEARING" the intake...umm I cant. I was expecting a loud intake like these ricers running around and it was no louder than stock. I whistles when its cold but the goes away. People say you can hear it outside when your on it pretty good, but still nothing loud.
