Most people use DCI's instead of CAI's because they are cheap and effective. You will get minimal gains with an intake unless you are tuned and have other supporting mods, so the stock air box works fine.

Just curious, but you post threads nearly everyday asking simple questions (tunes, intakes, suspensions) that have been answered hundreds of times on here. I don't want to be a jerk but try using the button or read the stickies, they are there for a reason and you will find a wealth of information.
