Ok so after a month i am finally getting my car back, and i wanted to order a tune and cai. I really like the how the steeda looks but i dont think i want to spend an extra 50 on looks. I feel as if they dont make a big diffidence but i dont know for sure. Which one do you guys think i should go with.

Whichever DOES require a tune. If they both do (but I think that I think that I believe that the Air Raid doesn't), then flip a coin.

It's all down to cosmetics. I couldn't decide myself, so I asked some friends. Most of them preferred the AirAid race to the JLT III, so I got the AirAid.

If you really like the looks of the Steeda then what's $50 for something you really like and will be on for years to come. I've changed out my headers to JBA shorties because I didn't like the hideous look of the stock headers.

Been there. I'd suggest to continue saving. I can think of a couple things I did to my previous car that I wish I hadn't skimped out on while I was in college. My exhaust turned out awful because I didn't spend the extra bucks for a better one.

That said, I have the JLT Series III and I recently removed it to clean the throttle body. The damn intake was warped where it meets the throttle body! It definitely wasn't like that when I bought it!

Steeda all the way, the Airraid does have a insert in the tube incase you choose not to tune the car but if you do tune it then just remove the insert.

I am very happy with my Airaid CAI. FYI, Airaid makes their CAI's for Roush too, they just slap their logo on it.
