To get CAI or not?
Well I was wondering if I should get it, in Boston it's cold something like 10 months a year so I was thinking I might not need it, what ya think?

So CAI changes the sound of the engine noise/tone?
I thought it was just a way to get more cold air into the engine.

I think if u cant wait, go with the AEM, but if u can wait, wait for the Comptech ICEBOX.

I think it looks better and it should perform about the same if not better.

I have 50k miles on my car.

Probably keep it till about 100k or 2-3 more years.

Is it still worth it, getting the CAI now....?

Heard one, I don't like the extra noise especially for my everyday luxo coupe. I am waiting for the RES.
