What are the pros and cons between a CAI and a SRI?? Cause i do know CAI is about 100 dollars more expensive, but is it actually worth the performance difference or is there not a significant difference?

AdamType-S

def go with the CAI.. you will get better performance especially during the summer in Cali.. just don't drive into a deep puddle!

fsttyms1

Id suggest using the search button to see more but dont waste your money on a SRI

jjf

CAI is the way to go and there is a piece(forget) that you can put on it to prevent water getting sucked up into the intake.

fsttyms1

Its a bypass and its not worth the money and not needed unless you plan on driving into lakes

so driving in puddles would still be okay?

jwskier187

as long as its not the size of a lake then yea

jwskier187

his front lip barely went into that water.. i'd even say that was safe to do with CAI...

now if your hitting water where the door seals... then your in trouble...

speedemon90

Im still on stock height so I'm not that low, yea and i live in so-cal so it doesnt rain here to often and i guess i can avoid puddles. So you guys think its worth like the extra $100 for a CAI. I was searching for used ones on these forums but i couldnt find one yet.

be patient speedemon-son it will come

Flipster23

iTrader: (15)

yes its worth the xtra 100. Keep looking in the BM im up to something ill leave it at that

speedemon90

Haha pm me if ur selling on that Injen CAI, I'm not sure if i can get it right now but if i get a good price im sure i can get my dad to let me buy it now, if not sorry. I wish the BM could have been separated by each of the tl generations.

^ whats your price range for buying one?

speedemon90

well i found a new one for $250 so im guessing used with what im guessin is gonna have a good amount of miles on it maybe like half the price, so like around 125 would be a good deal. You think thats a good price to ask for??

Flipster23

iTrader: (15)

125 thats a little cheap for a CAI

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

$250 for what brand..

speedemon90

Haha maybe it is, but you got to start low, cause the price is always higher, i really dont know about pricing on these used things since im kinda new to this. For sure im not going over 200 cause i would just go with a new one then.

Quick question will any 2gen CAI fit on my 2000 model

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

^ 02-03 type-s won't


any other will

speedemon90

AEM for $240 without shipping. I also just found another for $245 with free shipping. Both AEM

Flipster23

iTrader: (15)

uh looks like I cant sell you mine then....

I bought mine 145 used

speedemon90

Why does yours not fit onto the 2000 tl. First investment im putting into my car is the 105k service, and that will deplete my money quite a bit, so its probably better i wait till i get that service done first. But atleast i know that im going to be going with the CAI now. If i buy used ill probably look for $150

Oh lol just saw what car you have, yea i guess a 03 tl-s wont work with mine

i just purchased a AEM CAI from one of the azine members on here for $50 had to drive like 2 hrs to pick it up tho. it was worth the drive because he threw in the K&N filter too.

LeeDan00

not this question again. this has been beaten like a dead horse. do a search.

and to answer your question, get a cai. it's worth every penny.

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

^ still rockin LE37?

cuz i miss mine..

Rockstar21

iTrader: (1)

i've seen them on ebay 200 shipped... i think 125 is a decent used price...

GODSGIFT2WOMEN_1983

hey guys i have a 2003 3.2tl (J32A1)non type s and i want to know what would be a better upgrade? swapping to a type s (J32A2) or 3rd gen 270hp (J32A3) PLEASE IF ANY ONE HAS DONE THIS LET ME KNOW WHAT ALL I WOULD HAVE TO DO TO MAKE THE SWAP WORK. THX

nhn23

iTrader: (4)

wrong place to post. just go out and buy a type s

Bearcat94

You're better off doing a search first. If nothing hits, start a new thead instead of hijacking someone intake thread.

speedemon90

Just another quick question, a friend of mine asked me how to clean a air filter from an SRI? Just thought i would put it in here instead of making a whole new thread esp since i dont even have one,

If you're going to spend the money on performance at least get one of the best things. CAI for sure.
