Should I get a JLT CAI or a whipple CAI... Because the whipple comes with other cool stuff that mounts atop the engine block. :)
No really, what's the point of getting a CAI if i plan on going FI in the next year or two? Would I be able to sell it and get some of my money back?

In the grand scheme of things, the CAI is such an insignificant cost vs. an FI (especially if you pay for an install/tuning). I mean, you're looking at $350 vs. $7500-8000?

If you want a CAI, get one, if you want to get some money back, you'll be able to get at the very least about 50%.

Side note: If you're looking at spending close to $400, I'd look into a tune first :)

Nice. Yeah, I guess if you're looking to get every little bit ...

I just got my car, but I'm looking into a tune and some kind of exhaust, it's a little too quiet, but I also don't want drone or obnoxious loud.

Thinking of maybe the Steeda axle-back[?]

if your going fi 100%, you could always hold off, most of the time you'll get 60-75% of your money back if your looking to maximize for the next year

we like the jlts and the roush, plenty of both in stock!!!!
