Do not waste time and money on a no good CAI King Cobra. There are better kits out there like MAC, K&N, AEM,GRANATELLI,VOLANT, AIRAID,PRO DYNO. I would recommend MAC or K&N those kits work wonderful MAC being cheaper than K&N they still work and flow great.

I am really happy with my Volant (old style). The new ones are supposed to be better.

I have one for my truck, but am gonna swap it out for a K&N soon. The construction sucks, and having to MacGyver a way to mount this thing just gives me the jitters

I love my AEM brute Force Intake. It sounds so good, and i noticed a little bit more with it than my volant (old style)
