i took my fenderwell mounted CAI off that i bought from americanmuscle because it didnt fit right and installed my stock K&N and tubing and actually gained a nice improvement in throttle response over the aftermarket one....so i wasted $100 [&:]

I got one of the intakes from ebay for 50 bucks shipped to me...Works amazing..looks good too, and its the same concept design as any of the high dollar ones....so you guys can go ahead and say that you get more of a power gain off spending $200 on an intake...
who said that we get better power gains??? its the quality we pay for go ahead and buythe cheapestthing you can find, you probally regret it later...

Yea well, a cai is piping with an air filter. So go ahead and drop $200 on one and I got mine for $20 and i'll bet you have no more gains than I do.

so $200 vs $20, and no mine hasnt deteriorated and fallen off, and no, glue has not deteriorated either. The only problem was a fitment issue with mine that I had to overcome but it was all in all an easy job.

And i wont even respond to the guy who said you dont feel even 2 hp gain.

Ok buddy another dynoqueen in the house

a cai aftermarket changes nothing that could affect the environment. Its "basically" what comes stock from all factories

I got my $48.00 (including shipping) ebay cai installed today. Fit fine and looks good. This one is polished aluminum tubing so no chrome to peel off which I like. The only thing I didn't like is the clams are not the best but that's no big deal and with all the money I saved on an expencive one I can afford a couple clamps (lol).
