You should get about the same airflow out of the stock rubbery tube than a shiny CAI one, you really just need a K&N filter. If I were you Id just get a new filter, MAF and TB, thatd help your airflow. I got a AmericanMuscle.com CAI because I WANTED the shiny tube, and I painted it black to match

So what your saying is that no matter what i get, itll be the same thing, i just need the the actual filter and thats the one thing thall make a diff?

also, MAF= mass arflow .....what is TB???

also, i went to AUTOZONE to get some oil and cleaning stuff....and i decided that since they sell parts, to check for a CAI. i went to the appropiate section and theyy had some cheap looking kit in a plastic box....thatd be the same as the K&N one?

educate me

thanks in advance fellas...good stuff
