I know the power gain for a CAI is higher than on a short ram, but does anyone know the exact numbers? I've been running the same old Tenzo short ram for 4 years now. The AEM cai wasnt even available then I dont believe. Its worn out, has a HUGE dent from the battery post, a broken bracket and a big crack in it. That, and I'm getting a steal on parts again. My best friend and two other guys opened their own business. They've gotten the legalities in order, and now have business accounts. Mad prices :) Lemme know if anyone is interested in parts, as I'm sure he'll hook up my fellow 2GNT'ers.

how about a windshield?

Lol. windshield!? You sell what, performance parts or whut?

Funny you should post something like this. Ive been wondering the same question. My AEM is about a year old, but its almsot got a hole in it from rubbing the battery post and my filter is all beat up. Im considering either getting a CAI or going back to stock. If I could see some numbers to justify getting the CAI that would be great. Thanks for posting this!!

I've been wondering how much better a CAI is over a drilled airbox. I can't see spending $150+ for one if it only gives an extra hp or 2.

Clear corners, custom airbox

check the mods section, someone did a hp test with stock, some other cai, and aem cai. aem added 9 hp not moving. they said with hood down and wind blowing u could expect 11-12 hp. I got an AEM, looks nice, and sounds bass-ass deep at high rpms. i think it was worth it
