  • CAI worth it?

    is a SLP or a K&N CAI worth the $$$? i'm thinking about getting either the SLP or K&N CAI or the K&N FIPK. whats teh difference btween the CAI and the FIPK (newbie to the induction part of this). and if i go CAI then which one should i get, i've heard SLP is the better? any help will be greatly appreciated!

    the SLP CAI and whisper lid with a k/n filter adds/does the same as the FIPK (which is what i have). and money wise, its about the same. pics in my sig. if you wana take a look.

      I like the added sound of the CAI SLP...plus the car runs cooler imo...

            i've definietly decided to go with a CAI or FIPK now. so the question now is what would be best to get? SLP CAI? K&N CAI? or K&N FIPK? which one will do more for teh car as far as performance goes and also sound of my exhaust as well. i know the SLP looks really good esp with the whisper lid., but i haven't heard or seen much ab K&N CAI or FIPK.

              if you go with the cai.. go SLP CAI w/ a whisper lid, and k/n filter. you can buy it all at lmperformance.com. if you want teh FIPK you can also get it there. like i said, the performance adds about the same on each one, and the price is about the same.

                I have a 2000 3.8L Camaro and I recently got the K&N Aircharger. I really like it alot and it has a bit of a rumble to it compared to the stock induction. If the FIPK's made for your car are comprable to the Aircharger I would definitly recomend it.
