Hey for $44 I don't think you could build one as nice, or get the parts for that cheap. This is from the ebay bargain bin i posted. Also has another pre-drilled hole if you want to relocate your IATs closer to the filter, which I will do when I get off of work. Lunch time install, maybe took me 15 minutes.

watch your gas milage and keep us posted. For that price I would get one too if there is a real improvment in performace or milage.

Will do. I'll go fill up after work. I normally get between 65-75 miles before my gas gauge even moves. I should be able to tell whether or not it's a good one by then. But I'll reset my odometer and crunch the numbers when I fill up again for sure.

As for power increase, just on my way to work. Low end, nothign to note really. But once I started moving up in gears I'd say I definitely noticed an improvement.

Interesting, I noticed a decent increase in throttle response when I put my K&N on. Are you still running stock exhaust or do you have something aftermarket on there?

No, I have a flowmaster, but then again I didn't really get on it too much on the low end. I haven't gotten used to the bigger tires yet so i don't really romp on it yet. i will soon though

Leaving work today I spaced that I even had installed that CAI during lunch. I was like, man, she's feeling good today, then I remembered I had put it on. I'm gonna say I feel it through all gears now, I wasn't getting on it at all when I first put it on.

Nice find, looks great. Why is the top pin connector unplugged on your pcm?
