Alright so i'm in the market for a CAI.

Is There a standard one that everyone goes for? if not what are you guys runnin?

And are they direct bolt ons or would i need new sensors or a mass air flow etc

 

ive got the BBK fenderwell mount. took me all of @ 10min to put it on. simple R&R-plug and play kind of deal. only bad thing is, my buddy had one on his 10.5:1 331, and he had to get the Anderson Power Pipe because the BBK couldnt move enough air for his engine. so, if you plan on having outrageous amounts of power, you might as well go ahead and get the Power Pipe. and you dont need a new MAF sensor. should come with the silicone couplers to fit right around it has the screw type clamps.

 

i'm not running serious power so i think the standard would be cool, i was actually lookin in to gettin that bbk fender mount one.

 

i was checking into the fender mount bbk one, checkin out the installation video on american muscle, and it said u need to plug one of the extra sensor holes, is that plug included in the kit?

 

since you like in Cali, you better look into getting a BBK.. they have a C.A.R.B. EO number

 

The MAC fenderwell CAI is also has an EO #.
I know by installing the MAC CAI unit on my car that it's a 10 min or less install and there is no plug need or there wasn't on the MAC CAI.

 

i bought mine '04 and i dont remember any "extra sensor holes"...i may be wrong, but i dont remember anything like that. i can check in the morning though when i go run some errands and let you know. maybe its a revised model of the fenderwell mount.

 

The OP could also get an Ebay one. For under $50 they're hard to beat, IMO. My Ebay one worked fine.

 

my ebay cai is as good as the day that i got it, which was 4 years ago

cheap too

 

I've got the BBK fenderwell CAI, easy as pie install. No complaints, yet.
