Looking at the CAI intake. Was just wondering who had it and what do you think?. I know they advertise 16RWHP, but have experience in the past with exaggerated performance claims on Mods. Don't want to spend the $400 just cause it looks cool. Feedback appreciated.

I have it, it's a great intake

What Sanjay said plus after installing the Apex scoop yesterday you see a great package that is well thought out. With the inner wheel well out you see 'it'.

Top of the line intake, what ever the actual hp gain is you can count on getting the most from this intake!

SIM2LS13 · 02-29-2016, 01:50 PM

Just buy it.

CAI Intake with the scoop is top notch. Man I love hearing that flutter at high RPM.

This is the one I got. The filter itself is MASSIVE! Therefore it will give me more RWHP.

Also got this nifty water/dust pre-filter thingy. It's $45 so even magic pixie dust cannot get through. I am sure it's going to add a few RWHP all by itself.

I just can't wait to get it!!! Supposed to be here Tuesday...

Thanks for all the feedback. Think i'm going to get it. What is the deal with the"Scoop" ?

Shawno72 · 03-06-2016, 01:25 AM

Apex brand air scoop and washer bottle relocater and CAI. Great combo, I have it and notice an immediate hp gain

By the look of it I can get a pod intake in aussie.
Thanks for that Mr.Stacy

PS. have you got a pic of the clean side intake port on the intake please.

Does anyone know if the apex scoop works with the Airaid set up?

It will work if the Airaid has an open bottom airbox.

CAI makes a great one. Looks really good and is one of the best on the market. Super easy to install too. Pick up the scoop and washer relocate while your at it.
