Get the cold air (more power). Yes they make noise. No they dont require modifcation for fitment.

125 must be the short ram. i would get the cold air for better gains. if ur in wet weather then get the short ram. no mods required. i did mine in 15 min for cold air. Sounds deep and mine gives a loud hum at idle. People look at me funny thinking i have a blower or something.

Hey Gshock,
You should locate HeavyP on this board. I think he is getting tired of his CAI, but he needs one of the stock parts. PM him.He lives around your area.

Go with the cai, sound is great and power is there to match it, espcially after 4700 rpm.

I feel ya bro, i'm a student too, $$$ shortages suck a$$!
I'm going to be getting the AEM CAI in the next couple of weeks...$200 is a little much, check out the URL below...group buy is $172 including shipping. The horsepower gain will be between 5-10 i'd say....cheap horsepower

i like my imagines. On a black car it almost looks chrome( well maybe if chrome hasnt been washed for a week ). C5s are nice if ur getting the 3 pc. gotta have the buttons. Cl is luxury. i got the imagines because theyhad the "buttons" and no one heere had them at the time. Been like 8 months ago.they look good but i have No pics. Check out CiLver2.3's car. he has the same wheels but he has a silver car.
