Default What's the difference?

I am going to get a CAI soon; I already have a tuner, just need to get some updated tunes.

But my question to you: The BBK CAI's are listed at $200, and the C&L CAI's are listed at $300, so what is really the difference between the two? Is one better than the other?

Thanks for the input guys.

C&L cold air intake has a larger than stock maf while BBK uses the stock sized mass air flow. Due to this, the C&L will net a couple more hp than the BBK. I'd suggest getting a retune with either choice you make due to a/f ratio changes.
