      I had to cut mine out of the hose, CAI is decent but I would leave it stock.

      well how about a plain cone filter at the end of the stock hose? would that help?

      I would not put the filter on the end (SRI is useless) but if you want to mod the car, then do it for sure.

      if you are just going to put a performance filter on the end id personally rather stick with a k&n performance drop-in filter, at least you are getting cooler air then you would an SRI but this topic has been beaten to death, so ill stop lol

      leaving the filter box and eliminating the muffler in the fender is better than a sri.

      the cai is best.

      I agree! I was just acknowledging that Jet321 was feeling iffy about cutting the sensors out for the chome intakes fitting

      I've done cai, sri, and drop in. Honestly can't say u feel a performance difference between the 3. I've gone back to the drop in with gutted box and stock intake tube. Im happy because the filter is easy to access. Doesn't get super dirty and allows movement with the engine.
