I just installed the C & L street CAI with the no tune insert on my 06 GT auto this weekend. There is a definate seat of the pants difference in acceleration. I feel the 15 - 18 HP increase is legit. The exhaust note also changed significantly for the better. I have the FRPP GTA's.

The seat-of-the-pants your feeling is maybe 5 RWHP gain. If you got a tune with that you'd have pooped your drawers for roughly 20 RWHP gain, better throttle response, yada yada...

RE: CAI question

tune makes the car so much better

CAI you can notice and enjoy but without the tune you don't know what you're missing out on

RE: CAI question

it doesnt void the warranty... dealerships will try to tell you it does. but really, what can go wrong with a harmless little filter at the end of an inlet elbow?

if you are really worried, go with an FRPP intake and tune...
