yeah i CAI will usually give the exhaust a deeper sound....what about performance differences?

Yeah my exhaust note got deeper with the CAI.

Why didn't you go with JLT2 or C&L? They tend to give the best performance! The Airaid is a good system though. I thought about it before tuning!

Performance, with my set up, pretty much translates to a mild increase in throttle response, from both a stand still and travel speeds. She pulls a little better on the highway. The one thing I was able to do after the install, which may or may not be a contributing facter, is instead of chirping gears from 1st to 2nd, I was able to cut the tires loose. Now I may have very well been able to do is before the CAI install, but I don't often get into her. I can't wait to get my SCT tuner installed. I hope to see a better gains.

What they are saying is don't waste your money on either one. They are just a placebo effect and offer no bang for your buck.

Airaid cost me $250.00. I figured for the price vs. performance, Airaid would do just fine.

The JLT2 is $200 ..

Ok, It wasless expensivethan the BBK, K&N,C&L, Typhoon, Roush, Power FLow, Ford and Steedaintake systems. With all the CAI systems, realistacly, you can expect to see simmilar gain in performance. Now we're splitting hairs, I don't think I did too bad.

rshamekh

I get your point there, and as I said I read a lot about the Airaid and it's a good one, among the best!

Keep us updated on how you like the car after the tune

You got it! Thanks again guys!
