Question Which CAI do you like the best?

Since their are so many out there I was wondering which one everyone likes and works the best. My vote goes to the Lingenfelter SuperTube.

I have the arizona speed and marine unit. nice piece, seems to work good. I wouldnt buy it again though. After thinkin it through plastic has beter heat disapation properties than chromed steel. I would go with a plastic one next time. Something cheap like the moroso or something. Hope this helps, Prorac1

Anything other than G2 has my vote. I have moroso and it works pretty well, and the plastic was easy to cut to get to fit my tfs elbow properly. For a daily driver car I think moroso or k&n are probably the best, for looks it would have to be slp or as&m.

I have the K&N FIPK but only because I got it for $150 bucks from a friend after he used it for less than a month. My vote would have been for the SLP version, I really like the looks. Very satisfied with my unit though, works great.

I vote for the SLP. I have not seen the Lingenfelter, so I'm not sure what that one looks like.

I have the Moroso, but if I had to do it over again I'd go with the SLP one.

Same here, I have Moroso. If it didn't come on the car I would get the SLP just for the better looks.

Cool

Like mentioned before, anything over the G2 will give you pretty similar gains, so it is more of a matter of personal preference.

I had the GMPP unit in my LT1 and, IMO, it is at least the best looking out there. Can't beat that chrome tube in there.

I would never pay the amount if money it costs new, though. I bought mine used for $80.00 plus two filters for it for $50.00. So, for 130 bucks it was reasonable.

Too bad I sold it after I sold the car. I should've kept it if I'll ever get another LT1 again...

Thumbs up

I have the SLP and will have to agree with the other guys who like their SLP. The power is greatly noticeable when changing from the stock air box and it looks good under the hood too.

You can't see the CAI under the hood. It's hidden beneath the air lid.
