Haha! And its a one time purchase!

Go with the stainless look. You can always paint or plastidip it black if you want. And peel it off when ever you want. Just saying 😜

Yes black or stainless the CAI is beautiful. The couple times I have shown mine to peeps they always say "wow". The sound and performance are just added perks too. Dont put molded sprinkler tubes on your Chevy.

Not trying to knock CAi since it is a great product but the one downside to this CAI is heat.

If you track your car the stainless pipes will hold heat a lot more than say a root fab plastic tube will.

Food for thought.

False. Thermal imaging has proven that plastic holds in more heat than the metal tubes.

If it were just a stainless tube that would be true but the CAI Inc intakes are the only system that takes active steps to prevent heat soak. The entire system is ceramic coated and the air box is also insulated. Speaking of thermal images, here are a couple from an R&D session at CAI Inc. Hot outside the box, cool inside. They speak for themselves.
