all the cai's are pretty much the same. it becomes a price issue really. its all in the tune. and all are safely written for these cars. just allows them to breathe more are easier.
c&l(street or racer), jlt2 and steeda are the ones most commonly used by everyone on here. if you have an auto go with doug at bama for the tunes. but i have only heard good things too about brenspeed.
hope this helped a little bit.

When it was my time to purchase a intake/tune i read everywhere that they are all the same. So i got the bbk for looks. Turns out that the bbk is pretty close to stock airflow. i would have gone with the jlt or the c&L racer if i had to do it over again... i probably will switch down the road...

As for a tune, IMO, its all about preference. I like the brenspeed tune alot better than the bama. The bama is alot more sensative and doesn't seem to pin you in your seat as much. Although im sure they are both just as "fast" the brenspeed kicks you back more imo.
