can anyone tell me what the difference is between a cai and a oscai? i've never done any performance mods before and i'm planning on starting with a courtesy fstb.
should i also plan on getting a cai or oscai?
on a scale of 1-10, how difficult is the install?
and of course, how much and where can i get them?

thanks for your help guys.

 

Check out the sticky FAQ for an overview of the OSCAI, then click on the FAQ link in my sig and look up CAI.

I would say the CAI is about a 5 and the OSCAI is around a 2.

Check the Parts List to see who sells the CAI. OSCAI is a do-it-yourself job (check the How-To sticky).

Here's what the CAI sounds like:

sounds like exhaust to me.

 

Nope... the beginning part is more muffler/y pipe than CAI. After about a second or two it's all CAI.

 

o.. hmm.. rite before u shift to second rite?

 

Ummmmm.... nope. Hard to explain. You have to see/feel/hear it in person. The CAI doesn't really get loud until ~3K.

 

thanks kev
which would you recommend, cai or oscai?

 

CAI.. better performance and looks.. but oscai if u dont have the cash. its much better bang for the buck.

 

I agree with "Kev."

 

o woops sorry man. James

 

everyone already said what is needed to be said about this, but I just wanted to say that I agree
