I have the New Era CAI as well on an L99 A6 (and axle back LM II's). I think there are some driveability issues associated with it. I was happy with the noticable extra power I experienced at first. At the same time though, I noticed my idle being a little rough and at times a hesitation in acceleration.....very slight. The car acted like it had to think to be sure what I wanted it to do.

Darin has stated previously that he did not have any issues....maybe that is due to the other extras he installed. I do not know.

Janetty's CAI "showdown" (or whatever they called it) ended with them saying they found driveability issues with the New Era and recommended a tune to go along with it. You could check that thread.
