Default RE: CAI, is there a measurable difference?

I had a C&L and didn't care for it's cast metallooks (and as a tuner, it had a very inconsistant MAF reading). My buddy had a JLT II and that was nicely made and looked good under his hood. I sold the C&L and I now have a ProFab Intake from Modular Depot that I love. My Buddy was in an accident that damaged his JLT and his insurance company replaced it with a Steeda/Ford Racing CAI. Hafta say that the Steeda is vry nicely made and looks good. Performance is about the same as my ProFab.

FWIW - Supposedly the BBK CAI does not flow any better than stock (according to my tuner), I will be upgrading to a JLT once I have finished the rest of my mods.

..never mind,I think I will be going with the C&L racer intake kit instead..it's about $70 cheaper
and has a larger MAF housing.I don't really need bling under the hood anyways lol.

the DeMolet is the same MAF size and $30 cheaper than the C&L Racer

basically, you'll be happy with whichever one you get.

..still curious of that one ram air intake for a slightly ridiculous $850 lol.

Never seen that kind of intake for the GT before,it's kinda cool actually.
