I put in a BBK cold air intake on my GT recently. I swear it makes the exhaust louder and there is more uumph there. I had no issues with having to reflash the computer set up and no pinging so far. On to the next!

 

good to hear

 

now get it tuned

 

Good first step. Most of the CAI's will give you 8 to 12 hp without a tune. The real gain is with a good tune, not just in power but the throttle response is vastly improved. Plus you will even pick up a little improvement in gas mileage. The noise may sound like exhaust but is the unstricted intake that gives you that effect when you get on it. It's a great sound.

 

One day I may get a cai but I am not in a hurry. I personally like the look of the carbon fibre units.

 

I agree, the carbon fiber is very nice. When I got mine it came with the plain black inlet tube. Drab looking. So I took the tube, the rad cover, the rad cover extensions, the fuse box cover, and the shaker engine cover and painted them all a black metalic with a fine metal flake clearcoat. I'm much happier now, but the carbon fiber is still nice....maybe another day.

 

Totally agree with this!!
