I like the Steeda CAI, but I think I am still going with a C&L

Okay thanks a lot. I was on the edge of deciding if I needed to spend money and get a CAI now from that Pic I realize that I need to.
Where did you go? and how much? Was the tune hard to load, I have never done a tune before.

I got mine from Americanmuscle, for 600$, a little pricy i know lol. ANyways the tune is a piece of cake to load, you plug it in and it does all the work for you.

ehh i would have went with one of the places that pretty much specialize in this stuff like brenspeed or bama instead of american muscle, same price and i bet their tunes are better, but either way, im sure its a nice improvment

Great mod! Only thing i can see wrong with that cai is that it is the same tube housing, when the engine speed increases the air going through the intake tube makes the tube decrease in size and doesnt let anymore air in then stock, the tube is the most restrictive piece of the intake. Guys please correct me if ime wrong! Thats the only reason i got the mmr intake was cause its hard tubing, and wont deflate as the intake pressure increases.

Well i did some research before buying and the steeda cai made more hp gainthen most of the cai. The throttles body is as big as the stock tubing. So no reason to change it out unless you want to get a bigger TB
