You are better off with an Icebox or a standard AEM. Unless you don't care about power.

those "intercooler" style are a joke. RActive (the maker) put no research into it.

First, the tubing would be way too long with too many turns to allow proper intake air velocity. You'll lose lots of horsepower there. Second, the element is dangerously exposed to weather elements, debris, and getting drenched in water.

Stick with AEM or Comptech. You get what you pay for.

you're best off leaving your stock airbox and modifying it yourself...

AEM CAI = $200
AEM SR = $150

Home Depot self modification = $20

For everything else, there's MasterCard.
