Default CAI system?

I am looking to get the JLT intake systems. Should I get the Ram Air or just the regular? Thanks for the advice.

RAI gets more power, CAI gets like lower IAT2 temps. or something? But def. RAI unless you are twin screwed.

More than likely you will see similar gains with either one. The true cai may give you a little more. The rai is a lot easier to install but gets more engine heat. The cai is kind of a pain to install but the temps stay cooler. The biggest downfall to the cai is if you drive in a lot of rain then water can get up in it.

Well it is pretty much a car do drive when it is nice outside. I think I am going to go with the True CAI. Oredering it today

I thought about that too, but this car is only going to be driven when it is NICE outside NO RAIN. Thats why I have a clunker for a daily driver.
