Which CAI is best
Don't flame me for this thread, just trying to figure out what afer market CAI will give me the best performance while keeping the temps down. Have a HAlltech on there now and cut shroud.

All are an inprovement over the stock setup. I like the Vararam since it a cold air system. I noticed a nice improvement and coupled with Nakid Parts Shroud Cover, it looks stock. I don't have any 1/4 mile times but the SOTP meter says more power
It fit perfectly and cutting the stock shroud is challenging but to be true CAI, it has to be done.

The Vararam is generally regarded has giving the most HP. it is also generally know as the poorest build quality with the crapiest instructions. There are also people who have had the seal fail between the 2 halves of the filter cover and one report of the spacer becoming seperated and allowing dirt directly into the engine. Poor fit is another issue people have been complaining about.
