Buying Cold Ait Intake. Which one?

I'm wondering what I should do. So far it's between SLP, and a home-made one. Here's the SLP one - SLP CAI
Should I get that or make my own. If I should make my own, can you link me to a post here or somewhere, please? Or are there other CAI's I should get? Thanks alot!

Make your own, make it single so you don't have to relo. the battery or buy two air cleaners.

Make your own.
Or relocate the battery and pick up a TPI dual snorkel intake from the junkyard, they're one of the best intakes out there once you cut off the bottoms of the air boxes.

Make your own. I had that SLP CAI, and it ripped where the box and duct connect. I built this one, and like it much better. It extends down just under the front air dam.

I know this isnt the CAI you were looking for, but its something that you could start with, and change the air canister design to a CAI. This cost me all of about $8. Much better than SLP's, what, $200?



BTW, thats 3" ABS plastic tubing, a clamp, and a 3" ABS 'street elbow'.
