I would go with K&N or JLT if you want an CAI. Neither are going to giive you much of an increase though. Save your money and get gears or an exhaust first.

I agree. But, if you are going to get a CAI there isnt much gain difference from one to another. Just try not to unload your wallet on one for the measley few HP you'll get out of it. As far as Gas mileage on gears. I got 4.10 on my DD and I have no issues. Negligable loss in gas milage.

Nah, I was getting 220 miles to a tank of gas when driving "normally." I still see 210 to 215 now... again under "normal driving conditions." I was able to get a friend to install it for like 100$ Pays to know people
