Thoughts on Steeda CAI

[BV600]

I planned on staying with the factory intake, have someone at work who got a deal on procharger and is going to get rid of his steeda.
Is the steeda worth it?
Helped a friend put one on his 12 awhile back, it was a damn puzzle to get together, but was a quality piece.

Mods waiting to go on to my auto are X pipe and Injectors (going e85) and Kooks axle back.

I have the steeda 101mm and I love it. Just something about hearing the air sucking through the intake. But you have to have a tune to use it.

What exhaust do you have with this? How loud is the cai sucking air?

[Mrjeremyt]

Currently have 3" cat back with H pipe. Pypes "pype bomb" with mid mounted mufflers. But looking into deleting the cats here soon. As far as sound it's noticeable for sure. It's not turbo loud, but I can hear it suck air at every gear change like a monster taking a deep breath. Lol

With a tune, and if you can get it at a decent price, it is worth it if you are trying to squeeze a little extra power from the motor.

No need for this info.

Thanks guys I will probably pick it up for the time being, Cant beat $100 for low mileage CAI.
Scoring deals lately...$120 Kooks axle back. ORX, Tuner, and Injectors plus cash for Brembo wheels, but the lottery hasn't panned out yet....

Do it for looks/sound only. It will perform no better than the stock CAI. Gains are to be had in the tune.

Ive seen varying results.

I have concrete track data that definitively shows no gains.

Thanks, this is the kind of answers I actually wanted to hear. Back with my 12 I had a JLT It looked good but I remember the whole thing over on SVTP showing no gains.
Went with a procharger and sold it, vowed myself on my next 5.0 to not get another CAI, instead bought a C5Z lol.

Yep that CJ looks good under there. I will eventually go FI again so stocker it is for me.

That wouldn't happen to be BBRs old car would it?

Oh ok looks just like it. I almost bought it but dealer backed out when I knew more about the car than them. They had a built motor, tranny car with some other stuff and were trying to sell it full factory warranty.

Looks awesome though.

[Yagermeister]

It def looked awesome!
