Here we go. The CAI bashers are going to raise their post counts again. They are going to tell you, you will hydrolock your motor, and they are a complete waste of money. I personally like mine, and if I had to do it again I would buy another.

Tiny better throttle reponse, tiny bit better with an aftermarket exhaust or muffler. That's about it.

you'll love the sound when you floor it loaded up(going up hill or driving not reving in parking lot). had one and loved it till i hydroed the motor playin in 4" of water. never did notice any peformance difference but the sound is worth it for a pavement/desert pounder.
