Cold Air Intake

What cold air intake will give you the best bang for your buck? If There is one without a tuner that would be great I don't really want to spend 450 more bucks on a tuner.

Our Steeda CAI requires a tune and it will produce upto 16-20 RWHP ... but since you don't want a tune ... the next best option is the Airade CAI (no tune required)

http://www.steeda.com/store/airaid-2...t-page-reviews

Currently on sale and price to sell!

This kits is really great. Its easy to assemble, its give your engine a cool sound, and the performance is felt immediately. Like any filter if its dirty you wont feel the performance but cleaning it is super easy. I also got the econoaid spacer and with that I can make 32mpg plus high way. It really reduces pedal lag too. Just keep it clean and it will be good to you. I was also impressed that even though its plastic it has not melted in the arizona heat. I have had it 3 years now and Im still glad I got it.
Let me know if you would like me to help you place an order? I can also see if we can take a little bit more off the price ... email me at tim@steeda.com if you are indeed interested.

Best Regards,

TJ

If someone is not wiling to tune their car then don't bother getting a CAI. Total waste of money without a tune. You mind as well use the money to wipe your backside when pinching a load off because either way your flushing money down the toilet. No tune, don't buy any CAI.

It might not have been classy, but he's right. If it doesn't require a tune, then you're just wasting your money. Unless you just really think those filters are *that* pretty, I'd spend the money on something else. And I don't know where you got $450 from for a tuner, but they don't cost that much.

Had I not just gotten a good deal on a JLT intake, I'd have gotten the one from Steeda. If you're gonna pay full price for a CAI, you might as well get a good quality part.

I had a little exaggeration on the $450 and I'm sorry I didn't want a tuner. I just got my first car and don't know much about all this stuff so I got on here to learn some stuff...

GEH4,

Email me at tim@steeda.com and let me know what you are looking to spend and what your goals are. We can create a package to meet your needs and what you are looking to gain/accomplish.

The CAI/w tune is going to set you back $600 plus since you will need an SCT tuning device to load the tune. It is a pretty easy process ... but we have to see what your actual budget/expectations are.

I look forward to speaking with you.

Best Regards,

TJ
