So I finally have my GT and now I'm wondering if I should have bought the CAI and Flowmasters.

This thing is FAST and it sounds so awesome

Just don't know if I should go ahead with it or not.

Any opinions?

Why not? Is there anything that is holding you back? I believe if you get the C&L intake though that you will also need to reprogram the computer.

Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry.
I put Magnaflow mufflers on in January and had it dynoed, numbers were 269 hp and 279 torque with Predetor 91 octane tune. Went back after I put a C&L CAI and a custom tune, pulled 302 rwhp and 322.3 torque. You'll feel the difference.

I would have to say do it.

Using the CAI, you will need to get a tuner such as SCT or Diablosport as well to make sure the PCM doesn't put on a Check Engine Light. The tuner will also add a bit of power in inself.

Go for it Jamie. I have that same exact set up! I love it. Check out Brenspeed, and Brent will surely help you out.

Put the flowmasters on, the interior of the stock sound is good,but the rear end sound is weak. Put the F/M on and you will hear the difference.... all for the good.

I have the setup you are talking about (Flowmasters and C&L) and it runs great. There is a definite difference in the way the car feels. It pulls harder than stock for sure.

Not all CIA's require a reflash. :nono:
Most are sized so big that they overwhelm the mass air sensor so a reflash is required.
MRT's CIA doesn't require a reflash, I have it and I like it better than some of the others...
