I bought mine used off a forum member. Only thing I don't like about it is how the heat-shield is open on the bottom, unlike some other popluar CAI's.

As far as performance and fitment go, everything seems pristine.
Although agree with above poster, gains will be the same as any other CAIs.


I bought this seperately,
I'm going with AM's BAMA tunes for life.

Why don't you like the fact that its open to the bottom? Is it becauase it doesn't look as nice or because its more open to the road grime and elements from under the car? correct me if I m wrong but doesn't the stock airbox draw the cooler air from the fender well area directly under the air box if it were closed at the bottom it wouldn't be able to draw the air from that area as efficiantly

I don't like the way it looks,
although granted, yes. It does draw air from down there better. I'm doing a mod here soon to route some air towards the intake from the front grille,
so it's helpful in that aspect.

I have an Airaid CAI, which is the company that makes the Roush CAI, therefore I don't know much about the Tuneable induction CAI. However, the CAI looks pretty good, IMO. The custom tune is what adds the most performance gain! =-)
Once you upload the Bama tunes, let us know your thoughts!
