-get a cold air intake, put it in, bask in the amazingness of how it sounds, feel the 2-3 horsepower gains, AND YOUR DONE!

If it's futile, then why even get a CAI?

cardude007617 · 07-26-2007, 07:28 PM

because a cai is better and flows easier. ram air was just a selling gimick when these things were sold. it's been said countless times on here. we are just re-iterating what has been said many times. but someone thinks they can prove us wrong.

and i think its a lil more that 2-3. 4-7 is more honest

Its all in your head.

the throttle response also improves with the cai, along with the mileage as noted before. again the cai is deifinetly a win win buy. easy on the wallet, simple to put in, and u can see some results from it.

I highly doubt just adding a CAI to a stock GA would get you more than 3-4.

cardude007617 · 07-28-2007, 06:54 AM

well 3-4 for around $170 is better than 300-400 for a new exhaust or more. unless we're talking borla for 800 plus install for what maybe 5-7 at the wheels

Meh, I would still say to get exhaust and CAI. Good sound, good look, and it'll let the engine breathe a little better.

cardude007617 · 07-28-2007, 07:23 AM

right right, there is no doubt that doing both is best. but for the money, a cai is good

I dare say custom PCM is better

cardude007617 · 07-28-2007, 08:54 AM

ok here cai and PCM is the best 300 bucks spent
