Default CAI For EB

I have a 2011 EB with a SCT tuner, looking at intakes and trying to decide on the best bang for the buck. The one I have my eye on is the AFE Stage 2 ... Any one have a opinion on this or any others ??

Full Race runs a drop in filter. That should tell you a little bit.

Its been discussed that the stock set up is more than adequate. Many folks do not like the increased noise level from an aftermarket open air intake and end up selling them shortly after buying them.

All of them are pricey and offer little or no performance benefit. So, unless you really like the look or how they sound, you could spend that money towards some other mod.

So using the drop in that full race offers is the best way to go ?... I like the sound but I'm more for performance ...

It's sold by full race also, just an AEM dry filter. You can get them off Amazon if you'd like.

I wonder if they found a way around the heat problem. More power with the hood up, but less power with the hood down because of drawing hot air from the engine compartment. The stock system is a true CAI while the others are not, except the ones using the stock air box.
