Which of theese 3 CAI's is the best?

OK so im looking into getting a CAI right now.. (Mine as well i just got my catback ordered.) So what do you guys think? The K&N, SLP, or Moroso? I doubt there is much of a difference between the 3 but its always good to make sure. Thanks guys.

I love my SLP. Looks way better than the others.

Yes the SLP does look nice.. But is it worth the $30 extra over the Moroso?

I'm happy with the Lingenfelter err.... was happy with Lingenfelter

But, to answer your question, they'll all do about the same, just get one used for like a 100 bucks.

Probably makes no difference in reality, but I wanted the plastic Moroso. It seems possible the SLP w/ the metal tubes could heat up some and heat up the incoming air...

I have the Moroso, and if you do a brand-new comparison, I think the Moroso is a little cheaper out of the 3.

Yeah i did notice that.. Ive been hearing that CAI's arent really worth it now. So ima try to get a used one instead of new.. Anyone have a CAI they want to get rid of? Yes I have a thread in the WTB forum

I'd say the cheaper the better, within means. Dont get some ebay crap, just get a Lingenfelter one for $150. Used works too but you might end up needing a new filter.

I like the plastic ones better due to dissipating the heat quicker. I have a Moroso on my car.

Plastic ones are also lighter giving you a lighter faster car.

Funny part is that number probably isnt exaggerrated.

I personally liked the SLP even though from a engineering standpoint its the worse design.

I liked it because I can put the filters on and drop it in right from the top.. no trying to clamp on a filter underneath a car in a horrible position.

Yeah the FIPK is a pain to get the filter on. Thats my number 1 complaint about the kit... fortunately Im getting better and better at putting that sucker on the more I do it.

yes, I tried the K&N before I got my SLP and the filter kept falling off the K&N intake.
