Knock Off PR Style CAI?
Can't find one, apperantly 4th gens get em. Reason I"m asking is nowhere can I find an authentic PR CAI (discontinued). Or may I'd just have to customize something.

What I'm trying to avoid is lose of low end, I want to play with both setups to see which I favour when I get the car dyno tuned in spring.

the difference between injen cai, and the place racing one... the place racing cai sits directly infront of the fog light and away from the engine... unlike injen's cai it sits directly infront of the radiator thus sucking in warm air being pushed throo the radiator and the fact that its rite next to the darn exhaust manifold thus making it not a true cold air intake

they didnt do the work to develop a true CAI...but they label it that.
people fall for their marketing and assume its a CAI. it might be on other cars...but not ours.
people buy injen for the name. they wanna tell people they have an injen. plus its shiny.
IMO, an injen intake is a ricer mod. all looks and name...no performance

the injen filter sits right in the line of the hot air.
the injen is not a CAI...just like your ypipe is not fed spec

Anyways enough about Injen as this post is about a REAL CAI, PR style CAI. Sooner I understand what your saying. I currently have a "Berk" style, not authentic and I love it. But I'd like to get a PR style to see how I personally like it. Seems like it would be a custom thing. If I don't like it, back to short arm.

I guess i'm missing something with the injen, cause the one i've got sits several inches away from any moving air from the rad fans. I had to remove the resonator assy (which sits behind the fog light) so the filter had room to pull in air. I feel a definate increase in power over the stock box with a drop in k&n. Just my .02, seems like people make a big deal over getting that filter 2-3 inches over towards the fender.

The fogs are in a seperate housing, you'd have to cut metal to actually place the filter behind the fogs. Not sure when you did this but in hot days your car will feel like its drained of power compared to a regular short arm.
