I have been told some fender kits suck up water.
yeah if you'd go through a huge puddle or had the filter wayyy down low. I got the RAI JLT kit, it looks good, easy to install, but powerwise there's basically no difference

I have a CAI and a lot of people that has a RAI are swiching to CAI. You my not think there is no difference in the power gain but there is...colder the air more power its very simple. CAI intake brings on colder air there for its more dense

there is no difference when you are driving, and unless you show documented proof, your not gonna win anyone over with your comments. I do not see a lot of people switching over to a cai, I'm in fact, changing over to the rai due to easier maintenance reasons.

Good choice on the JLT, either the CAI or their RAI. JLT makes an excellent product!

I was at the Ford dealership last week and they have a Roush CAI kit for my 02 GT for about 260.00. Has anybody here used that one?

I am planning to order one next week.
