Default One Final Question

Ok, Im just about to order a CAI from Breenspeed and I still can't decide if i want the BBK or the C&L Racer i like the chrome look of the BBK but i can't seem to find any ratings or reviews on it, im just wondering if there is a reason for that, i really dont want to spend 600 bucks on a piece of junk.

From what I've heard, most tunable CAI's perform pretty much the same, mostly depends on what look you want.

I've read a couple of members that had code issues w/ their BBK CAI. Ive heard good things about C&L and JLT.
Are you purchasing the SCT tuner and 3 custom tunes in addition to the CAI?

Providing your not heavily modded, neither one provides more performance than the other. Go with what pleases your eyes and your wallet.

Well, I just did it I ordered a C&L Racer with tune, I don't know what to feel right know, one part of me wants to throw up the other wants to jump for joy and go sit out by the road and wait for the delivery.

A filter stuck to a pipe is pretty much the same regardless of the brand. I didn't even get an intake with my SCT brenspeed tune. I just went for the 87/91/93 tune for "stock" mods. Huge difference.

I'm not an intake believer.
