When doing a search for a new CAI for my car, I came upon two different ones. For the most part they, out of all the listings they were the same, but I noticed that they would either say:

Cold Air Intake 93-95 OR Cold Air Intake 93-95 Stg 2

I looked at the pictures of the two and they look EXACTLY the same. They are sold by the same person even, so it's not like some guy is just charging more than someone else. Is the stage 2 actually better somehow?? Does it let moer air in or something?? There's a $20 difference between the two and I want to make sure I'm getting the best bang for my buck here.

HELP

Here's the links:
CAI 93-95 Stg 2

i take it by looking at the ebay pages that you have a 3.4L like mine. basically the regular one is just the little pipe w/ the elbow and the air filter like in both pics. the stage two should be the same but w/ an extension of pipe down to the air filter. you have to take out old air box and run the pipe down towards the splash guard. the stage two will give you more hp gains b/c it will suck more cold air then the regular one b/c its sitting in the engine bay where all the hot air is.

my recommedation is to save a little more money and then buy the slp cai for the 3.4L. i have the slp cai and it is friggin awesome. easy install, takes ice well at drag strip, looks good, and comes w/ the air pump hook up if you have a manual 3.4. also w/ the cai being metal it still stays cool to the touch. mine has not gotten hot or warm since i've had it. you can pick one up for around 200 bucs and its well worth it.

 

a peice of 3" pvc pipe will work just as well... takes a bit of imagination to make it, but its not hard at all... and for what its worth i didnt notice a thing when i replaced my PVC CAI with a K&N CAI

the reason i changed was because i got a great deal on the K&N CAI.. and quite frankly PCV isnt the best looking thing under a hood

 

so, should i just get the stg 2 one from ebay or actually save up for the slp one?? from what i've mainly been hearing, there isn't much of a differenc3e between them. except that you can masterbate to the idea of having a $200 cai under your hood

 

Save up and get the real thing.

 

you get what you pay for!!

 

you do get what you pay for. save and get the real thing from slp. you won't regret it. l8tr
