Default Tunable Induction CAI's any good?

Ok, so I have been wanting a CAI/Tuner combo for a while but the CAI's American Muscle offers for the 2005-2009 V6 didn't meet my needs. I wanted an intake that offers the following: a large tube, large cone filter, a good heat sheild because I have a Trufiber Ram Air hood that routes outside air to the area directly over the air box and since ram air is kind of a joke for our rides, I wanted to at least take advantage of the increased airflow and cooler temps from the ram air and block off the heat of the engine. Didnt want a stainless pipe because it conducts heat and that kind of defeats the purpose of a CAI right? Wanted considerable hrsp. gains. Also price was a factor wanted all of these qualities without breaking the bank. After looking around I think I found a CAI that meets my needs and to top it off they will paint it to match my body color which is awesome but its not one of the big names Roush, JLT, K&N, Steeda ect, but when I saw it I was so impressed I took a gamble and bought it really without doing a lot of research on the product. So my question to you all is this, who all has one of their CAI's and what is your opinion of it?

Nope, but I did read the hype page from the link. Cai looks like a JLT clone, should be a good one. The thing I didn't like about the deal was no tunes for life...BOO!
At that price it should be included like bama/brenspeed.

Holy damn 500+ for tuner and tune. Then +5 just to specify gear ratio and turn off sensor/tcs.

You won't gain anything with that CAI over the other popular ones, plus I'd trust AM/Bama's tunes over TI's.
