You run a true CAI though? right?

Complete waste of $. They are good for making your engine bay dirty though!

Waste of money IMO

Got mine from Riss Racing, perfect fitment.

Your RPI scoops look weird... The ones I got did not require drilling of any kind. The inside portion of the scoop just scoots up into the plastic airway and the outside of the scoop simply attaches into the existing push pins on the top.

Super simple design with pretty good fitment, it just was hard to line the pins up and I had to have my wife shove them in while I pushed the scoop in to position.

My RPI scoops look nothing like yours though... strange.

I've noticed you and I tend to agree on most things, as far as the 'unwashed masses' go, well, hopefully their checkbooks have more performance than their mods!
