Need some advice on cold air intake

sixpackrt · 06-10-2005, 11:39 AM

I am planning on putting a cold air intake on my 05 and I was wondering what would be the best way to go about this. One guy I work with told me that it would cost about $60. Another told me it's around $200-250 for the kind that admits the cold air into the compartment and about $450-500 for the kind that "forces" the air via fan into the engine. I'm looking at the more expensive one because I want to do it right.

Is this information mostly correct? Where can I get what I'm looking for? Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated.

.....forces air via a fan???????, never heard of that. Your average cai for these cars are around $200.00 - $300.00, if anyone tries to sell you one for more don't buy it!!!!!!!!

LPE makes a great CAI for the 05. It's $240 and it has a heat shield with it.

Someone needs to make a true CAI for the hood scoops. Its the only way I can see it truly being a COLD air intake. These others are only going to end up being hot air intakes, either that or someone is going to have to saw a hole in the wheel well or something.

Airaid is supposedly working on a CAI for the 2005. I don’t know if they have it in production yet. I know that they were looking for a donor car to test it on.

I am also looking into parts for the 2005 and I can't find much just yet. I am waiting for a K & N filter and such. Does anybody know where to find aftermarket add ons for the 2005s

Now thats what I am talking about! See that seal on top so the air is drawn through that inlet grille? Now they are on the right track. Now if they could only design a CAI like the Dual runner intake for the stock TB where it fits underneath the hood scoops that would be perfect.
