more air in and more air out is never a bad thing for performance :-)

if your budget is only $50 or so, I say Zip Tie Mod away!
If I can't afford a $200-300 mod then I shouldn't be buying this car.

IMO those guys are tools. Of course a 200hp car isn't going to gain much from a CAI. Plus anyone who knows anything understands that colder and SMOOTHER air produces more hp. On their last test they use a ribbed hose with big curves. Tests have shown that turbulance is created by bends and ribs in the piping of a CAI. This video was really worthless for us.
