If you have money that you really just cant stand having around you anymore then buy a CAI, that is the only reason to buy one, no gain from it.

A CAI is a waste of money. You're better off buying a hose and cleaning the engine bay. It'll give similar HP (0 gain), and look just as good.

I'll trade you my CAI for your Shaker
To be honest, you would pobably loose hp if you were to switch to a cai. The gains on a gt are nominal and on a mach1 they would be non existant for sure. Dont believe the hype that k&n etc make.

if you look that is a gt. its not a mach 1, he just has the cdc shaker system on it. when i did my cold air intake i didnt notice anything, but when i did a tb plenum and pullys i noticed a big difference in top end.
