[QUOTE="r1dermon, post: 1232420, member: 563650"] CAI's dont do much unless you have an exhust system or if you get a bigger throttle body. intakes are only as good as the exhaust on the car, for instance, my friend put a K&N CAI into his mustang, absolutely no difference, then he put 2-3/4" headers and 3" H pipes and saw 14rwhp appear out of nowhere, and this is a stock 94' 5.0 mustang. with the cost of a new one, your paying for the looks and the name, all it is is a bent pipe, engineering? give me a break, as long as your intake is being fed clean cold air through the same diameter tubing with a less restricted filter element, then you're doing better than the stock one. i'd look at some cars like yours that already have CAI's installed and try to replicate that with PVC. then cover it in some thermal insulation and it'll look professional, as long as no PVC is showing. heh.
