a little better about 1-2.... so there you are left with if you want to spend $60 on one or $300 on one with the same results..... Lots of guys on here are happy with the $60 one including me....look at my pics to see it..

the CIA doesn't change your exhaust sound. invest in headers. :)

Tom I dont hear my intake because of my exhaust but they do go hand in hand
the engine breathes better and exhales better

i'm happy with my expensive AEM Brute Force Intake. :) i got a good deal from the normal price (whatever it was back then) so w/e it looks good.

AEM Brute...looks good, added not much if anything, but may enhance what ever I do later on. (headers, tune,etc)

VOLANT CAI! Has the 4" Collector (which is the Biggest for our OBS). I got one (not impressed with the fitmen, but I'm working it out with Volant)

Did a volant...customized the box so it has no leaks or warm air coming in through...took a couple of hours cuz the wheel well sucks...dips lower now and with a 30gallon tank I get over 450 miles 2 tank and thats over 15mpg rather than 330-390

If you don't want to spend all that money on an intake, our OEM intakes are pretty efficient since it draws cold air from the fender well. You can just drop in a K&n filter and call it a day. I have one if you'd...just make me an offer! Fits into stock air box perfectly!
The only reason why I opted to take it out is b.c I got my Volant CAi BNIB for less then $150
