according to that recent black bear study alll the ones they tested had almost identtical HP gains namely the simple little air raid jr deal
wich basically means there is no benefit to buying an expensive CAI

So you guys are willing to pay over $100 for the Airraid Jr. MIT tube? It's a simple tube!! Couldn't you get a piece of large diameter hose and maybe a 45 degree elbow or maybe 90 degree elbow?

Seems crazy to pay for the name. What am I missing here?

Thought I had more detailed pics. This is the closest one I currently have.
Will try to remember to get more asap.
This was my first CAI tube wrap, SO I didn't wrap the couplers.

This is how I currently Wrap CAI Tubes.
Coupler, MAF. From end to end.
I also wrap ALL Hot Lines and hoses. Under hood heat reduction has been substantial!

Coating the Tube and my old set of headers.
Its Sprayed inside and out, then baked with the heat gun.

Use this stuff and 3M super 77 spray adhesive to stick it on the box.

Had the K&N. Sure it's a 8hp gain or whatever, but it was annoying loud. Went back to stock an got my $250 back.
