Thumbs up Poll - People who got the CAI Extension - Love it or forget it???

wanted to get a generalized poll from those who got the cold-air intake extension, probably from UPFD. for those who got it, in your opinion was it worth it? (worth the $80-$100?)

I keep hearing both sides to it..some say get it definitely, some say not worth the $100. BTW i have the rippmods header, injen intake, and greddy catback exhaust.

Please vote if you have it in your cam.

- love it...get it!!

or

- not worth the extra money. stick with current setup

o sugar land!!! thats where im living right now lol
come bak sometime and i can check out ur ride

but i spent 30 dollars because i bought this thing called a vacuum hose, actually i dont remember what its called but i bought it from autozone
its black and u can push it in or pull it out to make it longer, its like the part of the straw where u can bend or make it longer but this is really hard so it doesnt bounce around, i used that as an extension and i bought a connector and thats it

if ur having trouble, come to houston and ill show ya

hey paradizecityz

did that vacuum hose from autozone and a connector really work? I thought it is better to use a metal connector for that part? i could be wrong...

where did you end up putting the air filter? behind the front lip? front corner lights?

cool. i should be back in the houston area in 1-2 mo. we can check out each other's rides
