what is the best CAI system?? I am going to buy one tomorrow, and I need to know the +'s and -'s of all the systems. SLP, Whisper, Votech, FTRA. What should I get. And is it really worth the money if I already have the "free Ram Air Mod?" thank you

You may want to look into the K&N FIPK for kicks. That's what i'm heading toward. It's a little more spendy at about $260-$300, but I like the brand and the filter design. I have a feeling it should be louder than the SLP too, which is what I want. That's my $.02.

True, my slp lid does rub hood, but it is the size of an eraser head, so no biggie. A clear lid would definatly be cool though. Stay away from the k&n fip kit (JUNK) and not worth the money, take the extra 150 bucks and mod something else. IMO

Almost everyone here will tell you to forget it. They say unless it is a restriction -which it is said that it isnt until well over 400rwhp- then it is a total waste of money.
