Kinda what I thought, just wasn't sure. It does not seem like CAI do much except create noise.

the snorkel or full intake system which i have and love. it is a huge difference over my aem and adds a unique sound to the car. Couple of my buddies said at WOT the car sounds insanely hot. in addition no hydrolock!!

J's snorkle and j's intake are two different things. They dont necessarily have a "cai" which is usually the one that makes the noises (aem, fujita etc....)

Either way save your money, time and time again OEM has proven to be the best intake, but if you want to spend $300+ for minimal to no gains and increased sound then an intake is the way to go. Have you ever seen an s2k race video with a cold air intake? They all use the snorkel or a ram-style intake.

I have j's racing carbon snorkle with k&n air filter. I do not have dyno sheet to prove it, I notice some differences at high speed. One thing that this snorkle does for sure is that it eliminates heat soak/bog in summer time when you sitting in traffic waiting for the light to turn green.

I've got the snorkle that fits the OEM hood. No dyno gains. Ram air types can't really be measured on a dyno. Heat soak is definetly less on hot days (airbox feels cold) and it looks cool IMO.
