    i was wondering is the spectre build you own CAI kit worth it, i was palling on using it to build the piping, but add a HKS or INJEN filter,
    any ideas?
    thanks

    Im actually running a spectre filter and couplers with K&N 3" piping. I think it has a nice sound to it....it almost sounds like spool-up when im accelerating.

    Is there no CEL issues with these? If these don't, then why was RRM's v1 intakes throwing a CEL? Tube diameter, distance of MAF sensor....etc.

    I havent had a single CEL issue. I have 3 inch piping with the MAF adapter right behind the filter (i have a sri though). I'll see if i can pit a pic here for you to see my setup...

    i made one with all spectre set for my 08 lancer. 1 the mas air didnt fit right at first so i had to buy an off brand piece to fit it. then 2 after i got that part and installed it i was overheating after a short dist. 3 running at 5k to 6k rpm at 30 mph. 4 stopping at a red light the car would cut off. so i just went out and got the injen one. just buy it and save urself the issues. and long run save the money.
