I went to a peformance place, and they tried to sell me all this unnecessary crap, when all im lookin for is now a CAI, and headers.... Ive heard that the CAI is potenically bad because if water gets sucked into it, your engine is Fcuked !!! So as fellow 8 driver's what would u say would be a better investment, CAI or headers? HP wise, and just for better peformance??? thanks

 

Considering there are no headers so far that have shown much improvement, I would say the air intake. Unless you live in the Amazon rain forest you aren't going to suck up that much water. Look at the RB REVi air intake w/ Ram Air Duct & also AEM has their CAI unit.

 

Intake don't do anything just get louder. I got me a REVi and sold it because I actually lost performance with it. All I did to the intake was replace the filter with a K&N drop in filter in the OEM box, remove the devider in the box then I left the flapper door in the tube in the bumper open to increase throtle response and it actually feels better than modded intakes.

 

Did you dyno it ? There are several dynoes on the board that show you are wrong. That hp gains of about 8-10 hp (with ram air duct) are provable. These are not from the vendor, but from posters on this board.
