The best way to arrive at your decision is to pay your dues and do some leg work. Most of us have share and obtained allot of knowledge through the various threads that we've posted and read.
If you ask for opinions, WELL you know what they say about them.
Just read some of the post concerning the mod you interested in and you'll be greatly rewarded with knowledge.

Are there any independent results on V6 CAI's? I know Jannety did CAI testing for v8's.

I have the Airraid on my V6. Looked at quite a few but not everyone of the manufacturers guarantee that you won't get a CEL because of the placement of sensor.
I am happy with the throaty sound on accels.

Not yet. At least, not that I'm aware of.

I'm still debating doing an all-out CAI, or just smoothing out the tube. I think that until the tune is completely worked out, a CAI isn't going to be optimized.

I went with the Airaid, it sounds good and I got a good deal on it. If you want I can try and make a video of it. This is the only upgrade I have done on the car right now.

Check out this video, it could cloud things up again. LOL

I went with the airaid and I have to say it was such a fun adn easy install. It sounds great and really feels like it gives it a lil more something to the take off.

SHACKMAN · 02-04-2010, 05:41 PM

What is the special I keep seeing people talk about from AIRRAID. The price I say on their website was 399.00 for the V-6. Is this it?
