OK, one last time....
LOL, bear with me here. I know I've posted about CAI's before, but I need a final word now.
I just got finished reviewing my funds online, and as it turns out, I have enough comfort space in my savings account to put down the money for a CAI.....so...
Before I go ahead and order one tonight, which one should I get? My engine is completely stock, and my only plans in the near future are gears, a tune, and a 160 thermostat.
Which CAI should I go for that would offer me the simplest install and the most performance? Thanks for the help in advance, and I promise this is the last post about CAI's from me, lol.

Re: OK, one last time....
I really don't know if there is much performance difference between the different manufacturers. I bought a Lingenfelter and have been really happy with it. My car is basically the same as yours, 160 stat and CAI, and like you I plan on a tune (madz28) in the near future.

OK, here's where I stand....
At Jegs.com they have:
Moroso CAI: $189.99
K&N FIPK: $224.99
And at SLPonline.com:
SLP CAI: $224.99
LOL what should I do? My choice is between those three.

I have a SLP on my car, and I've been really happy with it. No install issues, it slips right in where the stock airbox would sit. I felt a big performance gain with it, too. I'm not sure, but it seems like two smaller filters would be more efficient than one bigger one.

Just about all the cai's are gonna be the same.
I have had the GMPP (chrome slp), and the lingenfelter. While the chrome of the GMPP was nice, the ling cost a bundle less. They were running them for like 149 for a while on the lingenfelter website.
If I were you, I'd scour the classifieds and pick up a used K&N/SLP/Ling/moroso for ~$100

Re: OK, one last time....
Thanks for all the advice guys......I'm definitely gonna look around at used and new ones and order one tomorrow. I would do it right now, but I'd probably be better off going to bed, if ya know what I mean. I don't wanna bust out my credit card when I'm not "all there".

Re: OK, one last time....
I was interested in buying a CAI for mine and was looking at this one. http://web.camaross.com/forums/showt...38#post3278838 This guy just sent me pics today and i must say its pretty nice. I'd go for it and save the extra $100. By the way i don't know this guy i was just interested in the setup.

Re: OK, one last time....
I have a K&N i paid 185 ish including the new filter i bought and the recharge kit i think i paid a little too much but whatever. It is kind of a pain because i thought it would just go in but you have to take off the air dam and put the filter in from under the car so everytime you want to check the filter you have to take the airdam off and pull out the filter not a huge pain but I like things easy especially when it is just the air filter but hopefully the filter doesnt need to be checked on as much as a regular paper element.
