Default CAI

I bought a cheap E-BAY CAI, it barely fit on my 75mm throttle body. Id like a non-metallic one that is good and FAT. Yea, this question has been asked 5 million f-in times, but Im doin it again . I just feel like it's being restrictive, even though my stock MAF is good to 400HP id just feel better if it were fatter. It is in the fender well which is good with a K&N, which is absolutley necessary in my opinion reducing the air temp being sucked in. On another note, what is the best Ram-Air? Thanks again dudes!

Forget the march ram air, it looks cheap and like s*** under the bumper. People will see it and laugh.

k&n has a "ram air" style (in my old honda terms) that leaves the filter element in the same place as stock but flows a lot better and its this strong tough plastic stuff. easy install prolly 30min tops

unless you're going to be going 160mph+, ram air isn't going to do much performance wise

Would getting a K&N CAI add much more over a K&N filter and the silencer off? sorry to steal thread
