Default Cold air intake...

So i went around town today and i was going to just get a K&N air filter and call it a day... Well autozone had it the cheapest but wanted 69.99 for it? So i said fuc* that im just getting a full cai. First off does anyone have the link the the JLT website? And i was wondering, i know how you can buy those recharge kits for the K&N and just clean it out but can you do the same for the JLT? Thanks.

Why is the CAI kind of pain, other than it sometimes gets wet?

Does JLT have a CAI that the filter would just sit in the engine bay? Should i just go with the K&N cai?

So this would be best to get? http://jlttruecoldair.com/zencart/in...products_id=80I dont understand how it is RAM air? Are there any problems with these? Or would this be a good thing for me to get? Does this have problems with getting wet?

Or just what is going to give me the most bang for the buck while being hassle free? Im not sure about the differences between the ram air kits, fenderwell kits and such. What do you guys recomend? Im just looking to get rid of my paper filter....

sent you the pm, but ill post here too (briefly)

People will chime in and say the cai is a waste of money, that the k&n yields the same performance...whatever...if you want an intake, skip the ram air stuff and just get a real cold air intake that places the filter outside the engine bay and into the fender well where cooler air is found. The jlt cai and tunable induction both do this. Both the jlt and tunable induction intakes can also be painted to match your car.
