Which company offers the best CAI? I have had 4 different people tell me K&N, but I wanted to come get yalls opinion too.

BSR-1 · 08-07-2011, 11:54 PM

Not K&N for sure.
Try Injen long tube.

P.S.

WTH happened to the sticky of the Jannety CAI test?

You won't get a final answer here. Too many options. Make your own choice.

nyrfan · 08-08-2011, 08:51 AM

There is no "best", but a lot of great choices!! Read alot and you'll find the "best" one for you.

For me, the best is Cold Air Inductions!!

PoorMansCamaro · 08-08-2011, 08:56 AM

the two top intakes tested by jannetty are injen long tube (only true CAI), and CAI inc intakes.

Vararam just released their intake and have gotten some good reviews. Had some install problems on some, but for the most part people seem to like them.

GoldCartridgeGamer · 08-08-2011, 10:09 AM

I was stuck between CAI, inc or Injen. I went with CAI, inc. because I don't have to relocate my washer fluid reservoir nor do I have to worry about hydro locking my engine with it. With the Injen, don't get me wrong. It's a really nice intake, but I don't want to have to worry about hydro locking my engine especially with how bad the rain can be here and I drive every day.

The Vararam looks nice and seems to be getting good reviews as said above, but I am not sold on the look or style. Those are the three I would consider if looking into getting an aftermarket intake.

I was at the Woodlands C&C Sunday and received tons of compliments on the Vararam cold air / ram air setup.

We are very happy with it.

TooCool5 · 08-09-2011, 01:34 PM

How about cost vs performance?

E.T. · 08-09-2011, 01:55 PM

CAI inc with ADM race scoop

I think there are 3 good ones; K&N is not one of them.

I have a Vararam and love it.

Not true; I installed a K&N Typhoon a couple weeks ago and couldn't be happier. It looks great and really improved throttle response and sounds really mean, especially in the paddle-shifting sport mode!

the K&N Typhoon is known for eventually causing a CEL.
