I vote for the airaid as well. It's also the one I'm going to use when I decide to bite the bullet. You're going to have to get a programmer with it as well. American Muscle and some of our other site sponsors offer them as a combo for a discounted price.

I bought the Steeda. It works but I wouldn't buy one again because there are others that do the same job and look nicer. Most CAI's that require a tune will all give you the same gain in HP. I went to JDM Enterprises in NJ yesterday and they install alot or Airaid's. Just make sure you buy one that requires a tune. If not, then you're not changing the air intake enough to make a difference. The Airaid has the option of leaving a tube plugged and not using a tune, but that's pointless IMHO.

The average CAI and tune will yield about the same amount of gain in power. There are some minor differences. FRPP (at least on the 05-2009) models IS made by Steeda. FRPP also has a Bullitt Intake that is Ford, not Steeda.
That Bullitt intake has a larger than stock inlet but is still smaller than most aftermarket ones so it puts out about a handful of lower HP at the wheels when compared to the HIGHEST flow rated intake by C&L (Racer intake). It's within a couple RWHP for all the rest.
Aside from that, go with what you like.

That is what I use; I bought mine with the 3 Bama tunes for life with flash handheld tuner with this kit. The
Airaid is a stand alone CAI, but gives you next to nothing in power increase without the tunes.
But add a tune, and it is crazy wild; you can actually feel the power increase on you *** as you step on the gas!

If you want a warranty, have the FRPP tune installed by your dealer. Safe tune and skip-shift eliminated. Most CAIs give minimal additional power and the performance increase you feel is mainly due to the electric throttle ramped up quicker. Which is not a bad thing in itself. It's the way I am going.
Cheers.
