CAI Intake - $399?
Is that the right price? I have seen a majority of intakes in the $250-$300 range.
Is this a get what you pay for? I was under the impression most of these have the same performance production and sound - injen, rotofab, etc http://www.coldairinductions.com/sto...old-air-intake Am I missing something? |

That is correct, CAI Inc intakes systems are $399.99. You can get free shipping from some vendors.

AND...you do get what you pay for. I had the same pricing reservations, but after checking the options, it's an awesome system and worth the extra $$$.

If you ask really nice, you can get one for $359 with free shipping like I did.

Can't go wrong with this intake. I installed mine like 2 weeks ago and there's a noticeable difference. I love it

Once you open it up, install it, youll realize you aren't putting in some POS molded plastic intake junkbox. Stainless steel, perfect fit, it looks like car jewelry not something someone made in their garage. Buying a 25-30K car and saving $50 on something like this is just dumb. BTW notice how NO ONE has anything bad to say about it....you get what you pay for bro!!

It costs $100 per 1% increase in RWHP. Not quite a 5% increase overall by CAI's own numbers. So on a good day you get 4% more horsepower for $400. In Seattle $400 is the average monthly tab at Starbucks.
