Last thread about CAI's.....

I know this has been discussed a thousand times, I've read PAGES and PAGES of threads of different CAI's... on the forum and off.

I've come down to two choices.... Cravenspeeds and Ultrik's K&N CAI.

Because I just installed a 15% Cravenspeed pulley, I'm thrilled with their products so I'm leaning towards that one.

Before I order one, can anyone tell me why I should or shouldn't buy any particular brand?

It seems that for the most part that most CAI's give the same results. Some have sound that goes with it, some don't.

Any suggestions before I order one tomorrow?

My only other mods are a Dinan exhaust and obviously Cravenspeeds 15% pulley.

Thanks,

Mark

since you already have dinan parts.... have you looked into the dinan intake? i'm considering it: price & not too loud.
