    Just wanted to say that I'm gna get a custom CAI intake next week...my friend knows a guy who owns a shop and they might do it for like $180...give or take. Gotta work out the final numbers next week. My first performance mod. My friend also said that buying the Injen CAI...ur paying for the name.

    I'm gna get a dyno sheet and such so I cn post it up here and maybe talk to him about making the custom CAI available if you guys are interested. Once everything is done I'll let you guys know...

    I'm also gna ask him about making custom headers. We'll see if the price is better than what's out there. I think the only people making headers is RRM.

    This is true to a point..
    You are paying a little more because it is Injen but not so much because their a good brand, but because they have High Performance Parts.

    And also...its fitted to fit our engine bays perfectly...
    So its manufactured just for us, thats why the price is what it is.
    Perfect spot perfectly polished.

    All in all an awesome CAI.

    That's true. I would get it if it were 100 less. I can prolly get a custom cai for less than 200 and the guys that are doing the work have done this type of thing for a while. it's not injen but if the dyno proves similar than I'm cool with it.

    Besides, these guys are tight with the top tuners in Texas. Some of the guys are in the htown area so only a short drive for me. and if they do a good job then i'll go to them for the rest of my performance work.

    After I graduate and get a real job I'm gna take my car to show level. Just for fun. :D
