C.A.I.: Air Raid or Steeda?

I'd pick the Steeda over the Air Raid and I wouldn't bother with either without a tune. Even the AirRaid with the insert and no tune can still throw a code for running lean. Also, without a tune, ANY CAI will only look pretty. The gains are barely minimal.

Love my Steeda CAI, customer service with them rocks as well. I had a problem when I was putting the gasket on, I cut it wrong so it was all me, but they sent me a new rubber gasket asap and at no cost to me.
Steeda has my business for future parts and I'll continue to let people know how impressed I am with them and their products.

I had an Airaid and the fit and finish are great. Better than alot of the other CAI out there.
I've heard different things about using a tune with the Airaid tube installed, but AM has had great sucess in tuning the Airaid.

Either one will give you what you want. Without a tune and the MVT in the airraid you will get better sound but no actual gains. Once it is tuned and the MVT out the gains are excellent. I bought my Airraid used and it was over tightened so cracked and warped, I sent in pics and they sent me all replacement parts for it, FREE!!!, and never said a word about me not being the original owner or causing the damage.

My first Airaid had a nick in the tube, called them up and got a second tube in quick order.
No big issue with them.
So if anyone needs a Airaid CAI for a 4.6 with two tubes with about 4,000 miles on it....email me.
