I've been browsing around on eBay and other sites trying to figure out which Cold Air Intake I should choose for my baby.

Which one should I get and what is a reasonable price for it?

I've seen a few here is using some boxed solution with some transparent lid, whilst others are using a K&N open filter with no boxing, just isolation wall with a
rubber seal on top to seal it off when the hood is closed. That one looks best IMO.


Thanks!

The Roto-Fab is a proven system that produces great #s as well as increased throttle response. Installation is a breeze with detailed step by step instructions. We also have many options/finishes to choose from. And best of all, our air intake systems are 100% hand crafted in the U.S.A.!!!!!

Get the CAI intake. Order it from Apex-speed.com too, they're quick and great to deal with.

Listen to this!! ^^ it partly depends on what you like. If you like the looks of 1 vs the other. I personally like the ADM Race w/scoop. Myself and about 3 other guys I know switched from a low performing K&N to the ADM and we all had great results on dyno and at the track!!

If it were me, I'd pick them in exactly the order that SPCBA said, and i would throw Vararam and Halltech somewhere in the middle.
Just my .02!

You could get a vararam intake but you would need to swap your radiator for the 2010/2011. They moved the radiator cap on the 2012 models, and vararam isn't sure when the new model will be out. I called this week.

The CAI looks great and seems it will eliminate unnecessary dust from entering your engine compartment.

reason for uninstalling the K&N being?

It is nowhere near as good as Roto Fab, CAI, Halltech, and ADM.

The problem with those numbers is that all dyno testing was done with the hood up (check the note under the first photo in the article) and you don't drive around that way. When testing/comparing an air intake, especially intakes with an open top, you have to shut the hood or you are letting it suck in cool air through the top that it will not normally have access to. This is a classic trick used to inflate performance numbers.

please elaborate on how the CAI brand is "cheesy"... I think its a great quality intake.

CAI is the best!!
