Well if its anything like the 94-04s your going to be looking at a 5-10 rwhp boost, that's it, maybe 15 "tops" but it won't give you much more, if any more hp than a regualar cai, but looks damn cool.

Wow, all that cash for only 15HP tops...and that is probably with a specialized tune, so all kinds of money on dyno and tune. It looks pretty damn cool, but wouldn't it be cheaper to get a ram-air hood that routes cold air to your CAI?

Yea it would. See you have to understand that all you do when you install a cai, or a ram air is you allow more cooler air to enter the engine, but without a forced induction aka super or turbocharger, your hp gains will be minimal due to the fact that you can only put so much air into a stock intake manifold, and if you ram too much air into the intake without upgrading your fuel injectors, then you air to fuel ratio will be off and you'll lose hp instead of gaining.
