If it says flash required, you'll need a new tune. That's because some CIAs flow a lot more air and will cause the egine to run too lean with the stock tune. Best bet is to get a CAI/Tuner combo. I have the DeMolet and love it, but there are lots of combo deals out there.

I'm kinda new to this, (don't spaz at me, I'm a converted bimmer guy...and I just bought an'07 GT/CS, WOW
...lot more fun than my bimmer!)anyways...I just priced out a CAI, roughly $400. Then of course I did the good ole searching of what else needs to be done...low and behold, running to lean, just as you said.what's this about ... flashing the computer. won't that void the warranty!? Does the Tuner come with every kit?! what brand is everyone buying into for CAI!? is there one that stands above the others?!sorry if this seems simple to you...but some of this is all new to me...

I have a C & L True Flow because I preffered the aluminum tube. I like it but to really maximize the effectivness of the CAI, you need a custom tune versus a canned tuned that typically comes with the tuner and CAI. I bought the C & L as a package with a Diablo Predator tuner and a canned tune and have since switch to a SCT X-Cal tuner with a custom tune. There was a noticeable difference. I am sure the other manufacturers would have the same results. Just a a preference on what you like.
