Just put the $400. somewhere where you wont be tempted to use it. Wait a little bit longer, until you can come up with the other $150. and get Yourself a Quality CAI/Tune combo from one of the Vendors on this Site.


Like Pacino said to the Kid in Scent of a Woman....We're giving you Pearls here.

The fit and finish of the C&L is DEFINITELY better, very high quality stuff, but the results are the same.

Technically they are both just bigger inlet tubes and a big air filter.

My signature states my feelings and don't forget the guy in FLA, it saves you over $100 if you don't mind a less than pretty CAI

Oh, congratulations on the pregnancy. Your life is in for some changes but enjoy every moment.

thanks. we're very excited. spending $ on doc bills, baby stuff, & i have to get rid of some of my exercise equip to make room for the baby in the 2nd bedroom.

definitely gonna order cai/tuner soon. leaning towards jlt/sct at evoperform.com. seems to be the best prices from a reputable shop. the combo is $525 plus shipping.
