You should get a little more sound from a CAI because it will have a hard pipe rather then a plastic pipe like the stocker.
All in all though bang for your buck you can't beat the airbox mod because it essentially gives you a CAI for 1/4 the price. The extra diameter of the CAI isn't giving you much if anything because the restriction is not in the CAI but in the supercharger.
For the airbox mod you just need a new conical filter for the intake. I suggest the AEM dryflow. Check out the How To section on this forum for instructions on how to do it. All in all it takes about 20 minutes and the skill level of 1-10 is a 2.

HELLO!
i did a airbox mod in my car with the stage 2 setup that i got but really other than the nice sc sound that the car did i think in performance wise is not good and the way i can tell is very simple. as shifting gear i notice that 1 was max at 20 mph when in a regular stock it go all that way to 25 or 30 so if u shift that soon u will be going slower. 2 gear max was 40 mph when now i go to 60mph and get worse! this only my opinion i forget it abouth my spell please!!!!!!this for those guy who care abouth performance not sc sound!! so i gess the cheap way is not goo i going to the cai and see.... thanks.....

william honestly dont waste your money on an intake. you could buy you a header for the price of an intake and see a little more gains and better sounding exhaust note. but yeah sorry you had to be put through that whole spelling and grammer thing, some people are just ignorant. i know what ya going through because my best friend is mexican and we deal with it quite a bit but good luck with your car.

Yes the intakes hit on the 07's ABS hard lines off the controller. It hits the rubber intake coupler really bad and mashes it up from underneath. Nothing much can be done about it. I just left it that way smashed from the underside from 3 of the ABS brake lines.

the problem is as someone said before is that the 07 does not have a intake yet. someone said due to ABS tubing where the intake is so for a fisrt mod do u recomend the air box or no
so what ur saying is that the 06 and o5 intakes will not fit my car so why the hell wont AEM make one for the 07. also where can i buy the air box mod?
