dont be cheap, CAI looks better then a stock plastic tube, they do get the same results but CAi sounds better, the whine isnt as annoying, and looks better.

So you're saying you'd spend 200 dollars more because you want it to "look" better? Come on bro. That 200 dollars saved could go towards a pulley.

I wouldn't buy an aftermarket cai but I did the airbox mod and it helps to have a higher flowing filter.

I like the CAI just for looks alone. Yes, I would pay 150 extra just for that look. Just the same that I will pay 70 for the nice strut covers and they have no gain at all unlike the CAI.

Wow slammin a guy for buying a CAI and prob shattering his hopes....come on huys it seemed to me that he was excited to share the news that he bought a CAI. Yea he may have paid too much because I paid 90 total and had it shipped. Works fine not too much money and I have the looks. But like everyone is saying a Torqe Dampner is a really good buy it was my first mod and there are no regrets here.

who cares if you have enough cash for what you want to do? I love my injen CAI but I got the entire set up for 175.00. I would pay 175 over 50 bucks any day to get a nicer looking intake. The stock one is just so cheap looking and the tube will be much more smoother for air. Force inductions needs all the smooth air you can get.

Well from your last post I don't think its a ricer excuse at all. Your the one going the cheap way out, that sounds ricer to me.
I'm not really worried about what you say since I have one of the top 1/4th mile times from a stock ss/sc and I have the fastest GM stage II time recorded here. 13.6 @ 108 with GM stage II, GM exhaust, and I guess that ricer injen CAI your talking about. And to answer your question before you even ask it, yes my slips are posted and members from here were at the track when I trapped @ 108. Later

So you think you're better then me and more knowledgeable then me because you run better times and have more mods? Someone needs to keep there ego in check.
I'm glad you've ran those times. It shows our cars aren't to be taken lightly.

I like how when someone asked what a tourqe dampener was, braineater justs puts up a picture of one. Thanx but i dont think a picture will explain wtf a tourqe dampener is.
