So, I've been looking into getting a CAI for my Charger and I have been browsing Ebay and have come up with two different CAIs:

K&N:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-0...001QQitemZ110168896391QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

Off-brand:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2006...007QQitemZ170148305080QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

Am I going to see a huge difference between the two? I mean, I could understand the value of brand name on a more vital upgrade..But with CAIs what exactly will be different? Should I just take the $70 generic CAI over the $200 K&N CAI?

Usually they say "you get what you pay for". From what I've read, most, if not all aftermarket name brand CAIs will perform about the same and have some sort of deeper sound when accelerating. One deciding factor is "looks" of the CAI. That ebay one is not very attractive, but hey it might work. It looks very home-made but again, it's $150+ cheaper than some name brand one. I personally wouldn't buy it based on looks and lack of knowledge about it.

Yep, and my car was slower by 2/10's and 1.6 mph with the afe 2.
Put the stock airbox back in at the track the same day and the time went down 2/10's and mph came back up.


The noise makes you think it's faster:lol:

I had my AFE2 waiting for when my Charger came in. It was the first thing I did when I got her home.
