ok i have found 2 cai on ebay i kinda like. the first one has yellow hoses and seems to be a popular one and it looks good. the other one has blue hoses (Which is all that is under my car) and has a bigger filter, but it doesnt ahve a mounting bracket on it like the other and it seems to have 2 places for hoses? but only one hose. which one should i get? the one with yellow will not fit my color scheme at all unless i can find replacement sleeves and hoses in blue for cheap. any help? i have already bid on the one with blue. i hope its what im looking for tho.


here is the one with blue



but who knows if the actual product is actually blue hose/sleeve

and here is the yellow one

I have the yellow one, made by OBX. It's nice but the soft mount doesn't work. You have to make your own out of a 6m 1.0 bolt and some rubber washers.

You will be all set with either. I have a soft mount up top and no bracket. Had it almost a year and no probs yet. Good $60 spent, IMO.

Go for the blue one since it matches your color scheme. You won't need the mounting bracket, the CAI is already squeezed between the battery anyway, it won't go anywhere. Mine didn't have the bracket, and it's stayed on just fine

That's another reason I said go with the OBX. Dude, you can go to Autozone and cheaply buy blue couplers and blue hoses. But that one up there with 2 (maybe looks like three-look at the bend in the longer piece) hose connections is rediculous. Probably just generic bends not specifically fitted to our car....hence no bracket.

I don't know why you guys are saying you don't need a bracket. Mine comes in rather handy
