When you spend a significant amount of money on a car like this I don't see the urge to save $50 on something that you will experience every moment while driving the car. If you need a CAI go with the AEM it's not very expensive and is very well proven to show gains.

I think someone on ebay is selling a decent AEM V1 copy. The AEM V1 is already pretty affordable though.

you spend a lot of money for a great performance sports car... people are afraid of spending extra $200.00 bucks.
Is it worth it? thats a question that you should answer. you can always take the risk of buying a $50 bucks intake and having a problem or two OR get yourself a decent intake such as comptech ice box. its upto you


btw, importsport...
when did you become a mod?
congrats!
