Arrow Lingenfelter CAI

i was wondering if a lingenfelter cai is a good choice for a cai. I like the price but is it easy to install and clean the filter. ANd how much does it increase in hp and times.

All cold air intakes are just alike. I like the lingenfelters price and that is the one im going to get when i get all of the problems worked out on my car. I would guess you may pickup a good 2-5 horsepower with one. I think they also help throttle response too.

I liked mine, but when my brother wrecked my bike he had to buy me an OEM ramair setup. So I traded up. Oh darn.

X3 on the ram-air setup, i was about to get lingenfelter but with needing a new elbow it adds up nearly the same, lingenfelter looks like best bang for buck on CAI

2-5 horsepower seems a bit low, more like 10-12. And when would you need a new elbow? The stock one works fine with my Moroso.

As for the Ram Air, I heard they don't start working until 75+mph.
