Default CAI

I would like to know if CAI systems vary in yield depending on the brand? cuz there are CAI's on ebay for roughly $55 bills, what would be the better buy? a cheaper ebay CAI or a costly K&N or MAC CAI, i jus wanna know what would be better.

You're basically gonna get the same amount of gain no matter which CAI you go with.....just depends on what you like. I wouldn't get a cheapie that may give you problems though. Check the e-bay sellers feedback before buying.

ebay one is basically a MAC cai. There all yield about the same gain. But the name brand ones are made with more quality. Ebay ones will work fine.

go to some of the sponsors on our site. autobadges will hook you up with a good price on a MAC. all CAI's are going to give you the same gains. probably within tenths of an HP.

If your worried about going cheap and worried about spending too much, then just meet in the middle: MAC.
