U may be feeling air turbulence in the tube ? Air travels down a tube much like water going down a drain. Any change to that circle messes with its air flow characteristics. Noise, hammering etc. happen worse than the simple circular tube without sharp bends or bends at all.

The Roush tube has a great sound to it.

I opted for the ROUSH air intake system. *Post-installation pic'. Have since replaced airbox with OEM and the UPR oil catch can has been relocated to in-front of the header panel.

Im on the fence about buying airaid cold air intake package and the SCT livewire from 5 star tuning.

Is the cold air intake worth the extra money? Or should i just buy the tuner and not the CAI?

null ... Is the cold air intake worth the extra money?
No. Unless you can justify it for the sound and/or engine bay cosmetics.

Or should i just buy the tuner and not the CAI?

Save some money and just get the tuner.

Do you need a tune if you just replace the tube and keep factory air box and filter?
