I don't believe there are dyno tests to prove gains over other CAI's. Just look for one that uses a conical filter at the end. (K&N FIPK, Moroso, Lingenfelter) Should cost you around $200 no matter what brand you go with, and installation yourself is extremely easy.

The difference between the different CAI's is not noticable enough to matter. Except for the G2 CAI. Its not really even a CAI. But all the others k&n, moroso, Linginfelter, and SLP, they are all the same. They just very on the way they look. So if you gonna get a used one get the one out of those you can find the best deal on. If your gonna get a new one then get the one that you think looks the best.

I chose the SLP because imo it looks the best out of the others.

I like the K&N FIPK because the ducting is plastic which will not heat soak like a metal CAI will. I noticed a difference with mine.(I had driven the car in stock form for 3 years before adding the FIPK, so my butt dyno was pretty tuned) It had a little better throttle response and it seemed to do better on the top end.

I bought the SLP cause of the look. I also painted it deep cherry red as seen on my web page. I didnt like the factory black paint.

i like the moroso cause its easy to work with, you can remove the cai from the engine bay without going under and removing the air filter.
