Just bought the BBK Stainless LT's/Cats and a Borla Cat Back exhaust, I am stuck on which CAI, though... Thinking Injen, but am wondering how BBK got so much on their Dyno when their design looks no different than others who are barely getting 7-10 hp gains... Am I missing something?

Making minor changes in the bend, tube length, coating, filter size/type etc. will all have an effect on performace of the CAI.

Gotta say, I love my G5CR Intake. I went for the $300 one. Easy to install and you can really feel the power.

Man, I hope you don't really think an intake gave you 15HP

All I can say is, I could feel a big difference. I have not done a Dyno on it yet. Hope to do one in a few weeks. Once I get my mufflers and X pipe finished. Wish I had the extra cash to get the Tune....

Alot of talk about Headers and exhaust and Cold air. What else is out there for under 500.00 to give you the next 15hp ?

I would love to hear of someone doing a CUSTOM INTAKE MANIFOLD. Like a FAST intake or a nice custom one.

Anyone near the Houston/Dallas/Austin area willing to install the BBK LT's can give me a shout.
I had hand surgery last month and am limited in my movements.

So I went ahead and bought the BBK CAI. I hope its everything BBK says it is. If not then I'll wallow in my own tears and lay in the fetal position until the pain subsides.

So effectively I'll have BBK Headers and Cats, BBK CAI and a Borla Pro X-Pipe Exhaust. I'll definitely get you guys vids when I eventually get it all installed.

BBKTech,

When do you think we'll see the CAI's ship?

Are these street legal for Ohio?
