IM looking to buy an intake, ive had my mind set on the Stillen intake...but ive been reading that you lose low end power...do you gain high end? and how much low end do you lose, is it enough to REALLY notice. my question about the PR CAI, is how hard of an installation is it? i know you have to drill a 3 inch hole in the car, and run the tubing and all that, but is the drilling tough? the drilling is what was keeping me from considering the CAI over the Stillen. How much low end do you gain from the CAI? ive got a 2k1 automatic. any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks

I used to have the JWT Pop installed. I just recently switched to the PR Cai. I've noticed that with the CAI the car just seems to have more power and just feels better driving.. With the Stillen you'll loose a little low end but you gain at the high end full WOT... With the CAI you get back some of the low end you loss, and gain in the mid-range.. As far as the drilling, it wasn't that tough as long as you have the template and the right tools. you'll need like maybe 3 1/4" hole saw and some weather stripping as well to cover around the whole you just cut. Check out PIONEER'S Place Racing CAI install he has a good write up on it..
