yes a cheap ebay CAI FTW. i personally have a K&N CAI and have never had a problem with it and am very happy with it

yeah k n n is a great intake .. but the first time it got cold out the bracket snapped in half and i got that replaced but now ever since then the intake tube sometimes slips off the throttle body.. its annoying!!

I just bought a new one off ebay for like 40 buck total, so you can get one for cheap......just make sure its a true CAI, the K&N replacment is not a true CAI it has to run outside the engine compartment to get all that cold air

tjames · November 10th, 2007, 03:45 AM

just make sure its a fenderwell CAI

006leenstang00 · November 10th, 2007, 04:28 AM

but the k & n has the heat shield by the air filter and it is in the engine compartment.. but i'll be better off w/ one that is outside the compartment?

Tlord18 · November 10th, 2007, 09:24 AM

Yes. Even though it has that heat shield the engine compartment is gonna heat up. The fenderwall CAI keeps the filter outside of the engine compartment where there is more + cooler air.

Ive never seen a reason to buy a name brand CAI for 200 bucks they are all just a filter and big molded metal pipes, had one from ebay never had a problem with it and it worked fine. And hot engine air can still get over that heat shield a fenderwell is better for cooler air.

i bought the one from americanmuscle.com and ill probably get a k&n filter for it but its good for me

If you already have a K&N don't waste more money buying another one. If your really having that big of a problem with it slipping off the throttle body get some tbolt clamps, then its not going anywhere.

006leenstang00 · November 10th, 2007, 02:33 PM

yeah its just a pain in the ass when u have to stop and pop ur hood and adjust ur intake.. lol.. i'll try the t bolt clamps b4 i make a move to buy another intake!!

El_Cangri · November 10th, 2007, 05:04 PM

how hard wuld it be to just put some bolts to stop it from slippin out..

dont change the intake since u alredy bougth it.. just try to find a way to direct cold air in.. or make it sux up air from the fenderwell

006leenstang00 · November 14th, 2007, 04:25 AM

no i was sayin that its a pain in the ass having to stop and pop my hood and shit!! but i'm gonna get those clamps and put them on.. see if that works!

AtlanticBlue99 · November 14th, 2007, 09:25 AM

if you want the absolute best, get Tunable Induction's fenderwell kit.

006leenstang00 · November 15th, 2007, 06:46 AM
