It is not expensive. Compare it to all similar intakes and it's almost a bargain. It is the best because the service is excellent and the quality of the parts is excellent. The sound is great and gains are relatively good compared to other intake options. It is a WAI, remember.

Loosing the weight can be very expensive and time consuming for some people!

Try hyper-grounding wires. It's the cheapest mod for the engine, IMO.

It varies from $200 and up. The only 2 CAI's are manufactured by Place Racing and Injen. BTW, I have an used Injen for sale @ $165 shipped if anyone is interested.

The only true CAI is the Place Racing CAI. It locates the air filter outside the engine bay, away from the hot air of the engine bay. The Injen locates the air filter next to the radiator, which as we all know gets dam hot while driving.
