CAI sounds good but what about...

I am torn between getting PR CAI or the Frankencar Intake system.

I like the idea of the CAI but it seems the Frankencar intakes are what people like the best. Are the gains between the two that different? What do you think?

I am using the PR CAI Hybrid after trying it in CAI mode and I like it better. I call it a PRankincar.

I would go with Frankencar just because you don't have to drill a hole in your car.

If drilling a hole in the fender wall is the only reason one wouldn't get the CAI...would a CAI be more beneficial in gains or does the Frankencar intake system offer the same perf. increase? I think I may be sounding a little confused.

the cai chokes a little in high end, where the hybrid intake doesnt quite as much.

I think they both offer about the same amount of performance.

I'll be doing a dyno for Steve soon so we'll see if there's a difference between the CAI and the FCP Intake.
