Not really. The AEM CAI sits right below were the CT CAI get its air. The CT CAI gets air from the same place but requires no cutting like the AEM. The CT airtube is made of plastic and therefore will not get as hot as the metal AEM. Plus the CT CAI is about 2 feet shorter, which means the engine has to work less to get the air into the engine.

But its up to you its your car. Do what you feel is best.

Thats may car dude.

Yeah I can feel the difference. I can feel the throttle response has gotten better.
The thing I like about the CT is that its just as quite as the stock until you start to open it up, and it doesn't leave a big open space in front of the motor either.

I would say get the CT CAI but then again I think I'm a little partial

Yes, but you need to get the CT STB.

[B]just my .02 here, but you know how the stock box has that partition in the middle before the filter and the 90 degree bend in the cover? Well, in between dyno runs we cut all that crap out because I dont care about it and we added 3hp.

I think MG racing has them for $350.00 shipped. Go to the sponser section and e-mail Tim or Randy

I want photo's. I wanna see how it makes the bay look. So often these CAI's leave a big hole in the front of the bay making the engine look to small for the space. Please post some photo's so I can decide if I want to buy.
