I'm looking for the most 'bang for my buck' on a CAI. I've looked at K&N, Lingenfelter (sp?) and Injen. There all about $200-$300. Any suggestions? I put one on my 2000 SS Camaro and couldn't believe the difference.
THANKS in advance!!

This subject has been discussed many times. My question to all is this:
The amount of air that is allegedly coming in by way of the hdlmp is marginal at best. Unless there is fabrication involved ( 5" hole saw in fender apron) what benefits are we actually gaining . Dont get me wrong, I have a K&N in my car. But I truly beleive that the gain from it is minimal due to a lack of incoming fresh air. If you look at the hdlmp, where it sits , where exactly is this fresh air coming from? The hdlmp is butted against the front bumper cover, with a very tiny space between the two. That is hardly a source for fresh air.

I tihink there was a post that said the Lingenfelter dynod the highest between the Lingenfelter and the K&n but don't quote me on that

I don't trust K&N anything, i'd sooner make my own.

As far as CAI's go, everyone has their opinions, and each has their dyno numbers, all I can say is that my K&N that I got from GTODEALER is awesome. I could tell the difference, and hearing the air being sucked in (in a whistle) is awesome! I'll recommend the K&N, but its purely personal preference!

Air actually comes in from gap bewtween lamps and hood.
Thats why there is an opening there in the stock radiator cover..
I bought a used speed inc tube for $75 and hooked it to the stock
filter. .I just opened up the hole
where the air comes in and it seems to work well.
I dont think any CAI is worth it..
But what do I know?
Its not like my car is that fast..

Picture of what I did:

I must say that I am pretty impressed with my New Era CAI, works pretty good for me. Looks awesome IMO!

I went with the Lingenfelter after I saw some posts that the K&N was throwing codes or something like that. Pretty easy to install, probably would have been easier if i did it in the daylight though.
