go get it with tune(handheld package deal) be money well spent, unless u plan to go FI then i would just avoid cai all together and just buy handheld needed to tune when going FI.

If you buy a CAI without a tune then your wasting your money.

CAI without tune offers no increase in air/fuel over stock. Unless you like to spend 300 bucks just to make your engine look cool.

The best no-tune-required CAI might gain you 3-5 RWHP so don't bother.

Actually, it's waste of TIME and money unless you get a GOOD CUSTOM tune.

But a stand-alone will LOOK cool and may add a little tone to your exhaust note, if that's all you're into.

Here's the simple answer.
DO NOT get a CAI without a tune.
You will really not notice ANY difference in performance.
Over 80% of your gains come from the tune.

Without it you are throwing away good money.
Do it right and get a tune.
You may not want to hear this but it is a FACT.
I don't care what advertisements you may see.

No tune=waste of cash.
