honestly 2 of my friends got cai's and one of them got the bbk and the other bought a 44$ one on e-bay and when we compared the parts ther were almost identical... both were really esy to install and the dude with the 44$ one is laughing cos there dosen't seen to be a diffrence both make the 3.8 sound good.. and bothe seem to work just fine... so i bought one from e-bay too... and it worked out really good... jusy be carefull on the one you order... if you do find check the persons ratings and try to look if anyone bought the same item and message them through e-bay and ask if thie cai was good or not... but yeah if you don't feel to go with the e-bay cai's then be my guest and spend 200 buck... oh before anyone says anything bad about me buyibg **** on e-bay i made sure and checked on the persons feed back who bought this item and i messaged them to see if it was worth it oer not... it's only an aluminum tube for air... 200 bucks is way too much... that is my opinion so don't hate...

same. and mine was $40!!!!! but seriously, an intake is an intake..they all suck in air better..they are all metal tubes that hold the air and let it flow into the throttle body/engine, etc...just get a K&N filter and drop it in ur stock intake and than remove the air silencer or go and get a K&N filter with a CAI...or just get a CAI...ur not gunna feel the difference in 1hp or 3 hp..it all gives better throttle response and even that fades away after a week when u get used to it...go cheap and save money
