Ok, I know that most of the CAI's are the same in terms of power, in terms of ease of installation and price, which one gets the vote.....

 

The Lingenfelter CAI is about the cheapest, new, but there all about the same as far as difficulty to install. Mainly because the filter goes underneath the car and you have to connect it at the top of the car. I just braced the filter with a big box while I put the tube on it from up top then tightened it.

 

I have the SLP CAI--I think gamecockfan04 pretty much summed it up (as far as the difficulty level). So now it comes down to what CAI you think looks best.

 

for price I go with lingenfelter. it also attacheds to the fan shroud like the stock peice for atted support

 

From the few people that I know who have Lingenfelter, I hear that they're prone to cracking under pressure...even moreso than the Moroso's....take that for what it's worth

 

Mine's given me no problems and Ive had it almost a year. What kinda pressure? All it is, is a tube for the air to travel through.

 

FWIW, the SLP version attaches to the radiator support as well. And looks much better.

 

I have the k&n and mine didnt fit quite right. The filter ended up in a slightly angled position and I wasnt able to use the base plate or get a clamp on the filter.

 

I had the very same problem with my Lingenfelter CAI

 

i vote homemade
cheap, does the job great, easy to make
what else ya need?

 

I have had the K&N and the AZ S&M. And my buddies car that I work on has the SLP.

The K&N is a pain in the *** and is fugly. The SLP and AZ S&M both go in fromt he top with ease, and look purdy.
