Cai??????????????????????
Cai?????????????????????? Alright what is the best CAI kit that you can buy....I see people say they like the ssra but its on the bottom of the bumper and for a lowered car that sounds like it could be bad?? So is the ssra the best way to go or what other options do i have??????
SSRA is the best BUT if you got a WS6 you can find a used BGRA kit that awesome but REALLY ahrd to find. and you can always drill out the baffles in the hood and use some weather stripping to seal the lid to the hood for next to nothing
well the main ones besides the ssra are the slp cai and the fast toys ram air (ftra). personally i would go with either the ssra or ftra. ftra is made of metal so it can heat soak in hot weather, plus its design blocks part of the radiator so the car will run noticably hotter when stopped.....BUT the main drawback of the ssra is its a bit more expensive than the ftra and its so damn low and in front of the car many people have broken it on curbs when parking. i plan on getting one of these 2 soon, now i just gotta weigh the pros and cons of each and try to find a good deal somewhere.
Iv heard of the BGRA and yes i do have a ws6 so id like to find one of those but i guess ima have to look hard....is there any kind of rwrite up as far as drilling the baffles and seeling all that up or is it easier then i think??

That's because these cars get most of their air from under the vehicle. I forgot what that is called, but it crates high pressure under the car, and low presure at the cowl. Or vice versa. Either way, I wouldn't waste my money on the BGRA, I've literally driven before with waer on the scoops and had it there still after a freeway trip. Also I've heard of people who said that they've had snow like light powder there when they started a freeway trip and then it ws there when they were done. Just my .02 cents.

I have the FTRA and would highly recommend it. I have never had a problem with heat soak and the engine temp has never risen above normal, even down here in hot & humid Louisiana.
