Well it seems like every CAI is basically the same aslong as it's a popular aftermarket brand you can't go wrong, am I right?

No. Do your research and get a good one. You could spend a long time here reading threads on this subject. Do some searching.

I have a k&n, no problems with it, it's a tube with a filter on the end. But if I had the chance to do it over I would get a cold air inductions cai for its insulated air box for cooler temps

I also have about 12,000 miles on my K&N Typhoon and happen to like it. Excuse the dirty engine, this was just after a weekend of rainy weather.

My K&N had the highest IAT temps of any CAI I have ever used.

Yeah I remember that thread, but 80% of the people here don't understand what IAT means anyways. You try to help them and they say your hating on the brand or your just plain hating etc.....

Oh well let them think that "part" is the one they need they just wanna sound like they go fast not really go fast.

Give me a heads up comparison at the track on the same car...between K@N..and CAI. I would like to see the results. Im not sure if the car should be stock or have some basic boltons. Im sure it would be interesting.

I loved the k&n when I had mine on. But I switched it out for a vararam intake and I like this even better. But I would recommend getting the jet chip mass air flow sensor as well.
