CAI or X-pipe

blk04cobra1 · 12-01-2004, 09:33 AM

These are the next two mods I was planning on doing...just curious which one I would see more of a HP gain? The JLT group buy is something to jump on and I dont wanna miss out if they are worth it.

Me personally would go with the CAI. I am not a big fan of X-pipes because I don't really like the way they sound (H-pipe all the way for me). You are looking at approx. 26 RWHP with the JLT CAI. For a little over $200 that is probably one of the best hp increases for the price.

If it's power you're after, the CAI is what you'll want. A mid pipe isn't going to give you near as much of a gain as the CAI. If you're after sound, then go with the X.

I totally agree with Josh and David!
