steeda is of course a better brand name than MAC...a lot of people say to stay away from MAC products. but with a CAI the gains will be pretty much the same with whatever you get. in my opinion the steeda is way too overpriced...like $279 for my car...an 03 GT...id rather go with a brand like K&N...its a very well known name, and cheaper than the steeda.

every CAI is going to be within .1-1HP from each other in terms of gains. just get whatever one you get the best deal on.

I had a bad experience with MAC on my Cobra. The one for my Cobra changed diameter just in front of the the MAF meter and caused the MAF to be fooled.

I have the K&N, it's a straight shot, but you won't really notice much from a CAI so like everyone's get the best deal.

i agree with nanaki, i think most CAI's are pretty comparable, I have a MAC straight shot and im very happy with it
