What's the best CAI?

I just want to know what the best CAI is for power for my Max. Right now I have a pop-charger, but it doesnt give me enough power, so I'm looking to get a CAI. Any suggestions as to which brand and/or model to buy? Thanks in advance.

all of them are basically the same thing. the only difference I see is the type of filter they come with which is warpspeed comes with a K&N cotton filter and Place racing now comes with a monster flow foam filter which supposably increases flow. cattman is the same thing as the place racing. If you just want a cai and dont care about it comming in blue or silver colors then just get the warpspeed since all cais are basically the same thing performance wise

First, do a search, then, go to www.warpspeedperformance.com and purchase thier CAI. It is cheaper, they have better customer service, and you get the same product.

If you have a JWT POP and you are looking for more power and switching to a CAI to find it, you are going to be SADLY disappointed. JWT is the most effective intake for the Maxima. Look what every one of the quickest Maximas on this message board has. JWT.

Well from what I have heard, CAI is the best for Autos (which I have) and the JWT pop charger is the best for the 5-speed. Correct me if I'm wrong.
