Best CAI???

None are any better than the others. I have an SLP and personally like it. I like the way it looks and it performs well. Buy whichever CAI you think looks better in your engine bay or is cheapest. Word is to stay away from G2 though. If I could do it again, I might have gone with the Lingenfelter but I'd definitely buy the SLP again.

Yeah, none are really better, they all other practically the same gains. I have the moroso and am pleased with it. If it didn't come with the car I probably would have got the slp because of its metal construction (looks good).

Yea, they all do the same thing pretty much. Just stay away from the G2 CAI, its not a true cold air intake. I personaly LOVE my Arizona Speed & Marine intake, its awsome looking and works great.

Ihave a Moroso. I believe you will find similiar gains with most brands. Find one you like the looks of and go for it. You do need to keep the filter clean on a regular basis and it is very easy to use too much oil.

i also like the slp intake. Looks good, and i really wanted a slp CAI to go with the slp exhaust. not really much better flowing than anything else though. I got a JET cold air i'd give ya for like $40 or so.

Yeah like the others said, your gonna get simular gains. So just find the one that you think looks the best. Imo its the Slp, thats why i got that one. Its the only other mod i have besides exhaust and tb bypass and i got good gains with it.

I have the GMPP CAI. I'm thinking about getting the ASM CAI. Just for practicality. Looks to be less PITA to remove than the twin filter one, and maintain as well.

I have the K&N. I would have gotten the Lingenfelter but I got the K&N for only 100 bucks. The Lingenfelter is cheapest though and will do just as good.
