I can get a BBK cai for $100 (+$15 S&H). It's one that requires NO-Tune. Is it worth it to get it ? Will I notice Any difference since it doesn't require a tune? I can't afford the cai+tune package now but if this is a good deal for a temporary fix to me not affording the whole package? If I sell it later I'm sure it won't drop in price too much will it? It IS USED and has a couple minor scuffs or scratches

I would pass and save your money.

Only for looks, no improvements. Will drop in price, don't bother.

The tune makes the difference. Personally I would skip it and get a CAI/Tune combo. You do not get the advertised gains without a tune, and you will throw a light without a tune. Check out Brenspeed. If I could go back in time, I would of gone with a different brand and with a tune right away.

they lie! it does need a tune!!! it will lean it out way to much.

Some cars will still throw a code with a non-tune required CAI. Some don't.

A stand alone CAI will net you about 3-5 RWHP; barely noticeable if it all. With a tune, that CAI probably won't perform quite as well as a tune-required CAI. A good CAI & tune combo will net 15-25 RWHP, depending on a few factors. Also, the tune is the most critical of the 2. Be sure to buy the tune from any of the better shops.
