I posted this earlier today but it seems to be lost, so I apologize if double posted.

A guy in my area is selling the BBK Cold Air Intake (05-10 V6) he says "like new" for 75 bucks. I know this CAI sells for 199.99
I was thinking about buying it for my 2010 V6 with no mods so far.
Is it any good? If I buy it should I install it or should I wait until I have the money to buy a tuner?
Thanks

FYI - Here is a post I came across last week regarding BBK CAI.

BBK??? No Tune??? DON'T BELIEVE IT!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a 2006 V6 and bought the BBK that "doesn't require a tune"....WRONG!! I guess in SOME cases, the MAF curve is tolerant enough for some cars and not enough for others. The issue is that I was running too lean, so I bought a Diablo Preditor from a website that claimed to have a BBK CAI tune on the Predator....WRONG!!! No such thing (yet...hint hint Mike L) so another $50 for a custom tune that will fix everything....WRONG!!! After 4 days worth of emails and bad tunes, I gave up...so, I took the BBK off, installed an 87 Octane perf tune and have been running it that way. I will try again in the near future to reinstall and advance my MAF curve a little more and then log my data to check the KS PID...we shall see.

SO...If I had it to do all over again, I would buy the CAI/Tuner combo, beit SCT, Diablo, etc...if they're a matched set, you'll probably be better off...cheaper is not always better

Good Luck

Yeah, seems so and I thank you guys, kevin and redbeast for your help.
Now, I see some sites selling the combo for the 2010 GT but I don't see it for the V6. Where could I get it?
