Default Re: bling lights CAI ?
I did actually waste some money on this. It's not a great set up to be honest. There is nothing carbon fiber about it, and the cone filters are not of a good quality - you really do get what you pay for. The filters also sit within the engine bay, which means you'll effectively have a HAI - Hot Air Intake!

From everything I have read it is evident that the Needwings or TVT Design intakes are the way forward for serious gains.

I opted to make my own, there is a really good thread on this, search: How To: Building a Short Ram for about $150


I adapted mine so that the filter sat behind the front grill. Definite improvement to the stock intake.


For the price of the Blinglights intake, you are far better off either making your own CAI or going for the K&N panel filters, doing the grill mod and removing the plastic air ducts (not sure that is what they are really called) that sit on either side of the radiator. You will then have a nicer feed of cold air whilst retaining a relatively stock look.

Just my 2 pence.
