Default Re: Custom Dual CAI - 160$

Not trying to poke holes in your new setup but there are some potential problems with your setup. There isn't much cold about your cold air intake as you're still drawing air from behind the radiator. Also, I'm sure it sounds great hearing the supercharger but what flow characteristics do you think that T exhibits as the air is entering the throttle body? Believe it or not, air-flow would be better through a regular elbow vs that T. Just an aside, a few years ago, Code3 came out with a green filter plate you could use to replace the rear cover on the intake splitter and while it sounded great, it actually decreased performance because it was drawing in hot air from under the hood and it messed with the flow characteristics of the intake.

Just some food for thought. It does look good though and if you're happy with it, that's all that matters but if you're looking for some serious performance gains, check out the NeedsWings Dual CAI.
