CAI opinion
Hey guys, I have been really close to pulling the trigger on a CAI/tuner setup, I always wanted one for the longest..lately I have been researching the famous can the dealer see my "tune" and after everything I read there is no certain answer to if they can or can't I read some tricks but idunno..I guess my pont is if I just bought a CAI with out the tune is it worth it? Or should I just buy a drop in K&n? Any inputs? I'm just worried that god forbid something happens to my car engine wise or tranny that automatically it will be link to the CAI/tune the. I ahem to deal with that mess..I was thinking of bama if I got the setup.

A stand-alone CAI and drop-in are useless. And considering that over 75% of the forum is running a non-OE tune and my guess is that less than 1% of those have had an issue related to a tune causing damage, I'd say your concern is simply unfounded. Enjoy your car and the power to be had. You'll be sorry if you wait for the warranty to expire.

The drop in wont do a DAMN THING for you.
TOTAL RIPOFF.
You will not gain ANYTHING. And if you do it will be 1-2 HP.
Those things are B.S. I don't care WHAT they advertise or put as proof.
In my opinion those places that advertise those gains for those should be prosecuted for false advertising.
They are so full of B.S. and rip off SO MANY people uneducated in this.
Ask ANYONE on here. Those things are COMPLETE GARBAGE.
If you are going to get CAI... get a package with a tune and handheld.
90% or more of the power you will get is from the TUNE.
Plus you will need a tuner for future mods.

I know these tuner guys day in and day out work on this stuff so nothing would happen but what happens when somthing does? I just dont want my car being flagged when i bring it in for what ever, or if somthing did happen that my car under a scope then find out im SOL, i have a extended 6 year warranty cause i dont wanna deal with something going wrong or the headace. I might have answerd my question to wanting to get one, but i really do want one! i see all you guys have them with no issues, i just dont wanna be the one that has the problem lol.
