Who makes the best CAI?

 

[Nvr_Spds]

IMO there isnt really a "best" cai... all the gains are nearly the same. im running a k&n fipk, and dont have any complaints.

I like the K&N because it comes with the piece that connects the mass air to the throttle body.

 

[Derek@Amazon]

im just running an open filter on my maf and it works great...

About what are the gains I should expect? Right now I am just running a drop in K&N.

Does anybody have a JDM unit? It is just a big cone but also has an attachment that pulls air from the fender which I am guessing helps cut cool the air coming from the engine compartment.

Johnny Lightning has a real nice unit with the forced air scoop down under the bumper but I would be afraid of sucking water since mine is a DD.

i run air force one with power tube. its really just what u wanna spend or what u want it to look like.

 

[Scuba-Matt]

I say either one of these (JLP forced air or Chickenears forced air)

 

[DriftwoodSVT]

JLP forced air.

 

[svtpwd831]

JLP forced air.

+1

The JLP is what I have, and it started rusting and falling apart (at the cheap tack welds) in less than a year. I'd look elsewhere - lots of people have reported this problem.

For the PRICE and the actual Performance you cant beat the JLT... huge filter (which boosted cars love) and simple install... you could add a scoop to it if you wanted... but for $170 take it as it is...

 

[SWThomas]

I've also been looking into the JLT kit...

i'm fond of the whipple intake for some reason.

 

[buzzyinmich]

Ive had the K & N and Ive had zero probs with it!

 

[lightninmike]

If i were to buy one i would go with Chickenears set up. Much better scoop than the JLP setup and i like the look of the box itself better. But i got a JLP kit for free so i cant bitch

I have the JDM Kit, it's worked good for me for the last 3 years.

 

[Lightning Steve]

I've the AEM brute force, no problems, great fit and finish AND came with stickers and a license plate frame and cleaning kit.

I just installed a KN CAI tonight. I like the way the truck screams now. Its very entertaining. Only thing bad about the install one of the screw plastic inlet valve fittings was larger than the plastic threading on the intake. So, the situation was remedied by using a corresponding metal pipe thread piece and rethreading the intake. Worked like a charm. Also, I believe its the PCV tube is to short. But, I just capped this off for now until I remove that system all together.

 

[agentf1]

Arghhhh, I am between the JDM and the JLT unit. :shrug:

 

[2bscrewed]

I have the PSP ram air, or whatever they call it, and I love it. It's got the heat shield and two hoses running to the scoop under the bumper. It's a little pricy, but I think it's probablt the best performing one you can buy.

It's $379 for the whole kit.
