Depending on the manufacturer, I think it could be worth a few ponies.

You've got to watch your CAI choice with the spacers. The fit of a TB spacer in conjunction with the K&N is not a very good one. The K&N sits about 1/2 to 1 inch higher than stock and then makes that accordian tube have a lot of restriction as the flexible ribs are more in the way since the hose must drop down to the TB level in only 3-4 inches. If your CAI is a straight shot at the TB... go for it. It won't hurt anything at least

It will fit with any of them... It's just an alignment issue on some. Any CAI that sits low like stock will be fine.
