Blxmjx,
One thing about CAI, in general, and AEM in particular, is that they are simple "tubing" that require low-tech Al manufacturring, painting and some rubbers, in addition to a K&N filter. Therefore, their profit margin should be in 100%+ range over the cost of each part. This is the incentive to get those out to the market, in the first place. The consumer would love to add some 5-10 HP to his wheels too
However,
I would love to see a dyno for those mods:
1) AEM CAI alone.
2) Comptech headers
3) Random Technology High Flow Cat Convertor
1) and 2) together
1 ) 2) and 3) all together.
BeatYouAll, will throw in his V-AFC too

Looks damn good to me. Bro, do we just need to contact AEM to order one or through a middle shop??

I'm confused on why AEM did not build this with the bypass valve. I guess it's not a big deal to cut it, but you would think that they would at least offer it as an option on all of their CAI's.
