Default Re: New CAI, How does this one look?

Thanks DS, I kind of suspected that but it still makes me nervous and I just told our friend I'd sell him my 3" polished aluminum CAI. I don't think however, that the SL55 would be quite as vulnerable and I probably wouldn't have to pull the thing off when going to the Chrysler dealer since the mechanics have never seen a Crossfire LOL
