I've been told by the best that the best caold air mod is to remove the intake silencer and use the stock air box.

Your stock set up is already breathing cold air from outside the engine compartment.

Pull out the silencer and call it good, takes all of 5 minutes...

Use the money you were going to spend on the CAI on some pulleys, or gears. Lots better use of money goes there especially gears.

G'luck
