I took my silencer out and put a K&N in first, then switched to the UPR CAI. I definitly noticed a difference. S/C sound is alot louder and now the tires break loose in 2nd and 3rd. I installed the CAI and also the MAC Cat-Back the same night so I really can't justify the difference in only the CAI. I think it was a worthy investment. Install was super easy, fits like a glove.

Hope This Helps!

I did the K&N first and felt a small SOTP difference. Lately I have been considering a CAI but just dont know if it would be worth the extra $$$. 5.0 or MM&FF did an overview of the difference. The K&N Drop in put an extra 10hp at the wheels I believe. Do a search the results of that article have been posted here before. Now there are more choices but if I were you I'd stay with a CAI that does not go into the fender. Seems like more folks have better luck with CAI's like Steeda and the K&N CAI.

Good Luck!

I currently have the Bassani x-pipe and Bssani exhaust however I'm going to go with Stingers. How do you like the sound with the Stingers and Bassani X-pipe? Pretty loud I hope?

I can feel the difference between my car and my friends car and the only mod he has different is the CAI, its not a huge difference but its there, and the blower is definately louder which is awesome!
