Re: CAI Feeler

So long as there are brackets to keep it from vibrating/flopping and is of high quality and close tolerances, I would be interested in the stage 2 CAI.

Re: CAI Feeler

Johnny, would the stage 1 kit essentially be similar to the tommyX intake that Tom was offering? That's what I get from reading it but just checking. The prices seem good.

Re: CAI Feeler

I might be interested at some point.

A low priority for me, but eventually I would like to ditch the repeatedly cracked and jb-welded plastic box that attaches to the throttle body. Everything else is just icing on the cake

Re: CAI Feeler

If I can get commitment for at least a few then we can get them made and take pictures. I already bought in on the 5mt kit and have yet to sell one so I can't afford to throw more money at something noone is going to buy. I will make a stage III for myself so if I can get one stage I and one stage II paid for up front then I will make one of each and take pictures for all to see. Would anyone be able to commit? I know this site is full of commitment phobes lol

Re: CAI Feeler

Do you have a post elsewhere about your 5mt kit? I could look around, but don't have the chance at the moment.

Re: CAI Feeler

Re: CAI Feeler

Would the tubing going from the MAF sensor to the throttle bodies include all of the necessary vacuum fittings?
