you will gain 0-1hp going with a cai over what you have now. dont waste you money. 99% of the gain received by getting a cai is from the performance filter which you have now

thats the only name brand cai i like is the anderson one but not because of the hp gain, because it moves the maf into the fender. this is great if you want to hide your nitrous kit. you put the fogger in the fender (out of site) and still be spraying after the maf

i saw a guy with a dumby sub box in the trunk, if you pulled the box forward and looked at it from behind it was open and the bottle was mounted inside the box. also seen a 5# bottle hidden in the door. you cant role the window down with it in there but cool idea.
