Anyone do an ultimate CAI showdown / comparo to find the CAI performance KING? :)

All the CAI's will supply all the air a N/A stock cam'ed engine can intake.

+1

Dyno comparisons like that are a waste IMO. You could take the same car, not TOUCH the intake, and do subsequent pulls and come up with differences close to what they got in the comparison data.

I've got the Steeda and I love it. I looked at the numbers as well and just went with the one that I liked the best. Don't read too much into the numbers though as so many factors can affect it. I'm sure that you've got an idea already about which one you'd like to go with, or at least you've got it down to a couple of options. I had it down to the Steeda and the C&L and ended up going with the Steeda. I'm sure I would have been just as happy with the C&L. Just my 2 cents! Good luck!

steeda carbon fiber intake, has the bling factor, C&L looks nice, JLT cheap but does its function, still aint a eye sore too.

I have the bullitt intake, I like it because it uses a dry filter cone, and also I like the way it looks. Looks factor plus it says ford racing on it. But like everyone said, there all about the same and any of them will supply more air then a NA engine can take

Personally I think the JLT looks better but at the time when I purchased mine (c&l) there was some people doubting the quality of the JLT tube.
