RE: Intake

i think as long as its a true cai (goes into fender and doesnt suck air from engine bay) they all are pretty much the same. i have a bbk and i like it. its kind of a b!tch to change the filter on ittho.

RE: Intake

theres BBK, JLT, Steeda,K&Njust make sure that the filter is in the fender and not in the engine bay. if the filter is in the engine bay it sucks hot air in still and does no difference. they all are around the same price between about $160-$230ish depending on where you buy it from.

Do what i did, it works great, I got my eBay kit for $15 and but a $40 k&n on it and it works fine (actually noticable improvement over the stock paper filter)

There is litteraly, at best, a 1-2 WHP difference in any aftemarket CAI compared to any other, or any RAI for that matter.

It doesn't matter where it sucks air in either, the front corner of the car is not causing the RAI's to suck alot of heat in, simply because its not there.

there all the same, regardless of claims to the contrary by the people that make them.

[/align][/align]+1[/align][/align]The best bang for the buck in CAIs is the one that came with the car--it's free and for all practical purposes performs as well as any;andoften better than some of the eBay el-cheapo junk...[/align]
