I know intakes really don't add HP... But what's a good quality CAI I could get for my 97 GT?? I am thinking of getting the K&N CAI but just want a few options... Put some pics up as well if you can thanks.

I always think the black ones/ plastic look cleaner, instead if a big chrome tube in an all black engine bay... I'd sad k&n.

Yea I don't like the chrome... So that's why I might go with the K&N... The JLT is my second choice... Thanks everyone

You can get an American muscle brand for about $80.

Just went over the videos on their website... They all produce the same amount... So I am guessing it is just the brand that makes it more pricey...?

I don't know if it's true or not, but I've heard that the plastic CAI's can warp from heat off the engine. Also, the K&N doesn't go into the wheel well like most others do.

I got the exact same one that americanmuscle sells on eBay except it is black. I think I paid 50 bucks for it. Looks super clean under the hood. I'm sorry but I'm just not buying that one cai is worth 200 dollars more than another.

wrong. the plastic ones actually take in colder air because they aren't absorbing the heat like the metal.
