whats the difference in all of these cai's i have been looking at them and besides price and the filter that comes with them.. ...all they are is a metal tube that directs the air where it belongs more efficiently...sooooo why such different prices and why would one be better than another

 

One of the big differences in CAI is there are the fenderwell kits and then there's not. The first one goes into your fender where it's suppose to be cooler. The second sits just like the stock intake. Unfortunately CAI's don't make a big difference on our cars.. I have a Steeda CAI on mine.. paid around $260 for it.. but I like the way it looks lol

 

The JLT intake system is supposed to yeild you the greatest increase over any intake on the market. Id say just replace the filter with a nice high flowing one. If you are content on getting one though, go with the JLT Ram Air intake.
