I vote JLT RAI. I have a BBK CAI and pretty much hate it, just because it is such a PITA to even check the filter. After squeezing the filter in and out of the fenderwell so many times, it is now damaged and probably needs replaced. I'm very close to putting the stock airbox on, selling the BBK and getting a RAI when I can.

yeah i believe the BBK CAI defeats is purpose as CAI since its metal and absorbs heat. but i myself have the JLT RAI, but the heat shield that JLT makes for the RAI kinda sucks... it sucks in alot of hot air from the engine bay still which isn't good... so as of now, i have a cai adaptor for my JLT RAI . Recently I just bought some heat reflecting adhesive sheets to put on my crappy heatshield to see if that helps better and put it back to RAI to see how that goes....

I think jlt is the best. They dont do much so why spend all that money on one when you can get one shipped from ebay for $40.

EDIT: i got it when it was on sale and used an additional coupon

Its funny how people always state how useless a CAI is..... But they dont seem to look at other the other pointless things they do?

Yes the CAI/RAI will give you a few rwhp. YES after you do several mods they all start to add up!

If you are going to do an intake go JLT or go home.
