I need an intake system. but my wallet doesnt like me that much right now so i need somthing in the 200$ range. i found that the k&n gen II is 310$???? help!

 

Check the classifieds section...there are a couple on there for sale. I think I saw a Volant, and maybe another one??
Good Luck

 

Airaid Jr. Intake kit should be pretty cheap...

 

whats the deal on the airaid Jr.? never heard of it.

 

Hey man, I dont know where youre shopping but you can get the Gen II from www.autoanything.com for about $250. Just put one on my 04 and couldnt be happier. Check the pics to see what its gonna look like.

 

If you are looking for a quality, low-price unit I would suggest the GREEN Performance intake myself. Very high quality air filter (superior to K&N, which voids the warranty if you want to get technical due to the lack of a felt surround) which the GREEN filter DOES have.

I have this intake, and have no complaints. I think it is the same price, and basically same design as the Airraid JR.

 

If you only have $200 to spend then save a few more $$.You can get a Roush (Airraid) CAI shipped to your door for $260 on Ebay.I just got mine last week from this seller.I don't know how but he can do it but he sells them $75-$80 cheaper than anywhere else I've seen them. Fast shipping too. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2005-...66492409QQrdZ1

 

And there you have it, mass confusion. Look man its pretty much like this, pick one and go with it. As you can see, everyone is a critic. We each have our own personal opinion, most because that is the one we picked and by God, were sticking to it. Others may have formulated their opinion from bad experiences, but bottom line, your looking for price so shop around, and then shop around some more until you find the best deal and then buy it. All intake kits operate generally in the same fashion. You could read all of the specs until you are blue in the face and then you would be even more confused because each claims to be better than the other. So, just pic a brand and start shopping. Hope this helps and no I am not trying to offend anyone just stating fact.

 

I didn't see where anyone claimed that their CAI is the best.
I saw people telling him about the best deals on a variety of CAIs.
Nothing wrong with showing him what his options are for a given budget $$.

 

I knew this would happen, always a sensitive one in the bunch. Im not trying to put anyone down or poke fun. Im just saying people generally stand by the products they purchase, so all these guys are telling him about different kits and how this one works and that one works, so Im just telling him to simply pick a brand, what looks the best to him, and start pricing them to find the best deal. Im not saying that K&N is better than any of these either, just that if he reads too much in to any of this his poor little head will start spinning. Again, NOT TRYING TO OFFEND ANYONE. And, as far as me saying that one claims to be better than the other I was refering to the actual manufacturers sites that put the specs up for you to see what gains you get and so forth. Im confident that if you contact the manufacturer they will give you a huge spill about how theyre better than the other guys. Hope I clarified that for ya.

 

I bought my 77 series k&N cold air intake from http://www.activepowerfilters.com it is 212$ but free shippin.

 

Me sensitive that's funny.He's a big boy I'm sure he can take all the info offered and make his own decision.I hope he chooses K&N so you're not heartbroken.
