i recomend getting the cheapest metal intake you can get, and wrap it in fiberglass. screw paying the outrageous price for a densecharger.

I like my C&L mass air but it was about $350 with the inlet pipe, not sure how much a densecharger is but I hear they are very nice also

04 meant to say that the densecharger system was first and the C&L was second... he asked me to correct that little error for him [sm=trust_me.gif]

muahahahaha no he didnt really say that, what can I say the poor boy is confused [sm=icon_stickpoke.gif]

hehe just kidding, I vote for the densecharger kit - although I think that the C&L is the best looking CAI out there.

densechargers claim to faim is lower intake temps because its not made out of metal and it doenst absorb as much heat....the fibgerglass shields the heat. i think its a great route to go.

Chrome or ABS plastic material doesnt matter becuase the air doesnt stay inside the pipe long enough to heat up by the material surrounding it - fresh air is constantly moving in. Just get the one you like the most. Densecharger is supposed to give you the best horsepower but its only like 2 or 3 hp more than my favorite - BBK.

thats not true. the intake charge will get hotter with a metal intake.
