I wouldn't recommend S&B. The first one I recieved had an air flow tube that was poorly molded. The mouting location/surface for the mass air sensor was all screwed up. S&B sent a replacement that wasn't much better. In my opinion they have poor process controls (I'm a manufacturing engineer so I know a little something about this)

When I finally "fixed" the mount so that the mass air sensor sealed on the air flow tube and installed the system. I had 3 problems. The first was the air flow tube hits the firewall. And during the thousand or so miles I put on with the CAI, my fuel mileage dropped 2 - 3 mpg per tank. No resetting of the computer, battery disconnecting, or whatever did anything to correct this. Removal and replacing the CAI with the stock air intake, my mileage returned to normal. Last issue was the annoying drone that came with the CAI.

Don't waste your money on the S&B.
