If you must buy a CAI, buy a JLT. I'm not voting though...its a close call. I want one because I have a BBK now and it is a PITA to pull my air filter for cleaning. I'm not ready to spend $200+ on one though.
If you dont haev to deal with a "visual" smog inspection just make your own like I did! (One of these days I'll post pics of it). Remove your stock round air cleaner shell, and cut it open with a 3' cutting wheel or sawzall, then stick a K&N filter in it. It worked great for me up until California's visual smog inspection shot me in the foot and I had to buy the FIPK for the C.A.R.B. sticker.
Thanks for all the input guys! Everyone has the RAI? The fenderwell intake claims better gains? Could I go fenderwell or do you think it could suck in water? (I only drive on the road so I'm guessing it will be ok)
