who cares about MPG. do u wanna oil a filter every 6 months? probably not. volant or S&B. fully enclosed box. and next time, use the search function. there are too many threads started about intakes

You cannot safely run a CAI on a stock tuned 2005, you need a custom tune.

they have to be initiated somehow, right? nah, i just always forget about 04-05 needing custom tunes for CAI. probably because i own the better generation anyway

You can't run any CAI on an 05 until you buy a custom tuned programmer.

The plus side with that = more mpgs if you don't floor it and more horspower gains

if the OP has a 4.6 then he needs the gotts mod, if he has a 5.4 I have no idea but he better not until he's ready with the custom tuned tuner
