Don't forget that he's on this board, so if you ever have any question about your CAI, he's usually good at answering them pretty quick. His Customer Service after receiving you CAI is #1!!

Xephyr is $200 plus shipping for the entire assembly which includes the AEm bypass valve. AEM is $180 without the bypass valve which I believe is another $40. Xephyr is sold by Chris at Xephyr Performance in Cherry Hill NJ. AEM is sold by a TL owner and forum member by the name of Tim (snook). Both give great service.

Your in Dallas, you could attend one of our meets and check out my Xephyr intake, everyone at the last meet was impressed and I think will support Chris @ Xephyr Performance.

I have one of the "original" Xephyr's, #3 to be exact and haven't had any problems whatsoever.

After looking at both options and weighing them carefully, the Xephyr the best value, coupled with customer service...

Placing my order this week

My thoughts from the little demo. at the So. Cali meet:
The Groooowl is unmistakably different..
Xephyr is meaner

if only his customer service was *together*
he'd undeniably be KING

Let's do it after I get the H&R springs installed.

I will get them this week, probably on Friday and will get the install done hopefully the first weekend in June (not sure though) so after that would be great. How long will Intercrew need my car (only a couple hours right?) and how much advance notice should I give them?
