Welcome!!!
There are many CAI's to choose from. From what I've read, they are all very similar performance wise. Some CAI's require tune, while others don't. The biggest performance boost is the tuner, which you've already ordered. It all depends on what you are willing to pay and the look you want.

CAI's
- JLT
- C&L
- Airaid
- Roush (made by Airaid )
- K&N
- BBK
and so on......

Welcome!

Most CAIs are the same. They only will get you a gain of about 5whp. Really, none of them are better then any other. The C&L is really nice, and looks cool, but doesn't offer any gain over any other CAI.

To clarify, he's refering to a stand-alone CAI, NOT a CAI & tune combo.

My bad. Probably should have made that more clear.
