lots of good ones out there. depends on what you want to spend. K&N/AEM, Volant, Spectre, and many others will make it sound better and give you some slight gains. i have a Spectre. It's a fraction of the cost and and difference in gains between it and the others I believe would be negligible.

here's where i bought it. read the reviews:

I have the same intake as Narco but dont expect some sudden increase in performance. You will need to add a nice exhaust and have a Black Bear style tune up before you really notice performance improvements

There's a bunch of different styles. I have a Airaid that I bought like 3 years ago, I think more important then then the cai is the filter that's used. Some are definitely better quality then others.

on a funny non-thread jacking note I pulled the intake tube off the lq4 motor I got and it had one of those so-called gas mileage improving tornado deals in it. It make me rofl a little :rolleyes:

i think i want to go with k&n, just for the quality of the filter and tube...

Anyone know the difference between the fuel injection kit vs the 77 series?

and chrome tube vs black tube ?

Just purchased the Volant CAI for my 04 Hoe. The fitmant and quality was quit nice. And I did notice a bit more pep after installation but do have a aftermarket muffler but single exhaust. I was really pleased with it.

I also have the Chrome 77 series. Good quality. I beleive your suppose to get a lil more power out of the black tube because of the material keeps the air cooler or something. I think the difference is to minimal to count & I like seeing the chrome under the hood.
