Well I recieved my CAI last night (already had tuner). Installed this am before work. I must say I hate the one hose with the factory clamp that you have to squeeze on to the CAI. Anyway the car shows a noticeable difference in power and apparently improves torque the most as you feel a noticeable response in manual mode. Big difference in the exhaust note above 3k (makes me want to add a blower on the engine). Car is a much different car now over 3k rpm the basic upgrades seem to really shine at that point. Shift points are much improved but I am not liking an auto in a sports car I may have to get a TC. Also Rod thank you for the follow up today as well and your patience. I will be ordering some suspension upgrades soon.

Currently waiting for my recently ordered Steeda goodies to arrive. This is my first Steeda experience ever, so I'm hoping for a win like the OP had.

Steeda is a top notch professional company. I am currently waiting in Valdosta Ga, my car is at Steeda getting a Boss intake, new cai, new tune, Kooks Lt's, offroad xpipe, alum driveshaft w/loop, new rear control arms. I cant wait to get my ride back! Steeda's Valdosta facility is over the top, super nice!! Thanks Steeda!!

Hi sorry I have been busy modding. I have full exhaust on the way as of today too. Kooks long tubes/midlength with catted H pipe, going to use with the slowmasters I have currently. I will post sounds clips when they come in and I will post up some pics this weekend of last install. No dyno close so no numbers yet. My wife noticed the car is much different now; I was able to punch it with my wife in the car (she is mustang girl). She thinks the car pulls hard and acceleration is even and smooth which is a lot more fun to her.
I will add suspension in March and hopefully get to a dyno soon.
