You get what you pay for...

the 90 dollar ones are a complete rip off... I have a C&L CAI and while its pretty good... i will be upgrading to JLT

But Bigger intake is NOT ALWAYS better..

you want it large but not too large as to where your intake velocity slows down...

I had a JLT CAI on my GT and I didn't feel a difference, The quality was sub-par and required cutting, and it just wasn't worth the money.

I say go with a RAI if you're going to change your intake at all. I can't bring myself to buy a CAI since I've bought this car since that experience.

I say go with whatever you like...and you'll feel a difference with the intake matched with the TB and plenum..

Well the TB and Plenum should be here any minute now. Im sure that alone will make some difference on the butt dyno. And maybe like, 5hp on the actual dyno. [&o] But throttle response is what tb/plenum is all about anyway.
