dude, are you talking about CAI, on the actual intake manifolds, and what type are you talking about cause all have different gains from nothing, to some power gains.

Get the JLT, it will give you the most hp gains but its still only like 5-7hp if you are lucky

Well if you understand how an engine works, then you know the more air that gets in and out quicker, it will run better! Personally the CAI is overrated for power but to allow the engine more air is not! Go with it and I would suggest the JLT!

If you want to get CAI to clean up that ugly factory airbox and add any type of performance you'll actually see by adding a CAI ... just go on ebay and get the 50 dollar kit .. its the same as BBK ... K&N etc ... its just 50 bucks lol ...

Go with JLT it has a 4" pipe and will be the best looking and the best performing!

Probably get flamed for this but I absolutely agree. $50 for an ebay kit that just cleans up the engine bay basically vs. $200 for 5-7 hp and a name brand kit.

I would have to take the ebay $50 kit, the other $150 can be spent on better mods like a gear, pi intake or pi cams!

I have K&N and I like the way it makes the car sound.

Oh yeah .. that CAI really makes the car sound beefy :wink

Hit up the ebay kit and use the extra $ and get you a gear bro

Not my fault if you don't know that a K&N CAI intake gives your car a different sound than a fenderwell intake like the JLT.

Haha .. its ok man .. like I said .. just jokes .. and I can't hear my CAI over my exhaust :wink
