Just got to one of our vendors websites and find one there.

Sure the AEM V2 is nice, but do you honestly want to pay close to $300 for an intake?!

Well I hope the v2 is better than their other intakes. I paid less than $200 for my Injen, and it works pretty damn well.

+1 this is what I did. The filter is around 40, and the removal of the resonator is free, and about 20 min. I've noticed a slight difference, and it sounds awesome!

I agree. I mean some things you should spend the extra coin on, but for a CAI its pretty simple mod. Piping with a filter. I bought mine for less than $50 on eBay a few years ago and i've never had a problem. Sounds great at WOT and looks cool when you open the hood

I have my aem sitting in a box, and replaced it with a black ebay CAI because it was 2 pieces and I could install my bypass valve without cutting my aem, put a k&n filter on there and I'll never go back

I really think that if you just put a KN filter into stock airbox that shud be good enough, i meant a CAI nets what? maybe 5hp at most? and thats messaured at the crank too...only reason i have a CAI is becuz it came on the car when I had purchased it

Regardless if it's 5 HP or what, I can still feel it when I hit the gas. Good enough for me

I personally just bought the injen CAI system polished and it's a true showpiece. And it adds more than 5hp.. probably like 10... cause i can feel the difference, especially once you're in the high 5s and on.

CAI intake added 7hp to my crappy ford probe and that air was being sucked inside the engine bay down by the tranny and still did some good things.

CAI is a must for adding personality to your ride. Especially a Vtech'd ride. Just Listen to the melody
