upr cai

JStang14 · January 23rd, 2008, 11:51 PM

I think i'm going to go with the upr cai, i was going to go bbk but the upr looks exactly the same and is aluminum instead of chrome which i like and its a lot cheaper. Anyone running one of these? And before you all say "dude you should go with a JLT!!!" i dont care, i like my strut tower brace and its really not going to make all that much more hp.

I have the BBK and when i put on my accufab i had to retighten the stupid rubber sleve from the CAI to the t/b a few times...other than that like you said its not that big a diff.

And you can make the chrome nice and shinny!

ya just make sure that sleve is on there nice and flush and the braket grabs good...setting at a stop light and than BAM it was like a had a stage 18 cam. and i had to tighten it up with a penny.

be carefull. I bought a UPR big mouth CAI from a direct distributor. They gave me a welded together cheap POS! Not like the picture at all, filter was wrong. After contacting UPR direct i was told that they basically sell a "cheap kit" with a good filter. They now import the cheap kits, take the crappy filter out, then repackage it with thier filter. I REQUESTED one that didnt have that cheap weld on the lower portion where it bends into the fenderwell.

Flows good though.

i just talked to danielle our upr rep and she said their cold air intakes are all made in house. I'd say someone tried screwing you.

JStang14 · January 25th, 2008, 05:08 PM

anyone figure out the diameter of the bbk yet? i know the upr is 3.5 inch

the UPR sucks terribly, its only slightly better than JLT.

if you want to keep your STB get a K&N FIPK, its the next best thing to JLT.

Oh im sure, but i spoke with UPR direct. Cant remember the name of the guy i spoke with, i still have an email i sent him. He told me exactly what i wrote in my first response. And to make it worse the first one i got shipped DIRECTLY from UPR. They had to find me one without the welded lower. They fixed the situation and sent me some stickers and t shirts.
