CAI = Massive waste of money for a sound maker, period. Lowest hp/cost ratio of all available options. You're just as well off removing the stock resonator and calling it a day.

I had a CAI on every car I had, brands such as Evo motorsports, AEM and K&N and now I bought the "cheap ebay CAI" with K&N filter and its sounds great, only 65 $ with free shipping.

I just put on an AEM v2 because i got a real good deal on it and honestly i don't hear much of a sound difference but acceleration may be a little bit better. I have only had it on for 3 days though so not much of a help now that I am typing this haha.

Do you guys actually gain any power from CAIs? I know in the NSX world we lose power. Might gain a hp or 2 by swapping out to a high flow filter. Same story with my old Saturn Ion Redline. I lost 7hp (Dynoed proven) with a K&N CAI. K&N claimed a gain of 14hp. All they seem good for is(like stated above) is more engine sound.

I do NOT care what any1 says.
This is for the OP.
Until someone straps there car on a dyno stock and while on the dyno puts an AEM or Injen or Ebay or whatever.... I do NOT want to hear it.
It made a HUGE difference in the mid-high end .... end of story.

I had an aem cai on my CL-S, didn't make anymore noticeable power, but it did sound quite heavenly upon hard acceleration. I am not bothering with one on my TL-S.

I'll wait for the AEM V9, which guarantees no water will get up into the engine.....

Since you need torque to move, your car may actually be SLOWER. However, 3 ~ horsepower is not enough to make any noticeable increase.
But the words "cold air intake" and "significantly faster" have absolutely no business being in the same sentence.
Not this guy again.
