Just wondering how much you paid for the PRCAI? Did you get it from the Sticky parts list that y2Kev made?

Only reason I ask is because I want to get one.

Did you notice you got some of the low-end torque back over the SI? Or just a harder pull on the top-end?

Hey Ice..
I gained alot of lowend over the SI as well as the highs...The sound is so awesome. Much better than the SI. It's really worth it!!! I just need a Y-pipe to match!!!!

BigDogJonx..
I paid $220 plus shipping from Cattman.. It was suppose to be $195 but they wouldn't give it to us for the dealer price. Sucks!!!
By the way, I didn't use the sticky thread...

Rba, how long would you estimate it took for the install? Did you take pics as well? Just considering the possibilities.

Let's see... 3pm - 10pm Thursday, 2pm to 6pm on Friday.. Drilling the hole was the worst. That took up most of the time and it got dark so I couldn't see what I was doing. Had to postpone it for the next day. Clee130 has the pics but not the finished one.

Well ... here's a pic of the hole half-way drilled through.

And I didn't take pics of the finished product, because well... it looks like every other CAI setup. Nothing really special.
