Default BBK CAI

anyone have one of these, dont know too much about them but i was thinking about buying one off of this kid for $75 he had it on his car but had to take it off because it was a lease, are they difficult to put on? do they add any power at all? is it even worth getting, i thought i was getting a good deal being that its basically new and they gor for like $190 new

Very simple to put on with a small socket set. They reatial for 180.00 usally. They are great quality, and the tuck away nicely in the fenderwell. Only thing that I dont like is that they get preatty hot after runnin the motor for a while, but they still work fine.

i've got one, works fine for me....the install was decent, except for getting the filter on...because you have to reach up inside the fenderwell to do it....other than that, it's not too bad.

Pretty easy to install. Kinda tough to get the filter on, like nathansee3 said.

I would say save your money and find a plastic intake that won't absorb so much heat.

I have one. With hindsight, I'd do like wgdt21 said.

Yes you will pick up a few horse power. Probably not the 10-15 that they claim but I would say 7 or 8 hp. If you can get one for $75 then I would do it.
