I just got finished putting my Injen CAI in. WOW!!! What a great performance and sound difference. The best $200 I could have spent. Installation went very well with help from a couple buddies. Will post pics as soon as i get off work tomorrow.
Hi GT_03, looks like a great addition to your Vibe! What kind of sound change from stock? Would my Base sound comparable (with a CAI) up to the point that you hit LIFT? I've been thinking of a CAI, but don't know if it would really benefit my Base/Auto. Glad to see you enjoying yours!G.W.

You'd definitely notice a difference in performance in your car with a CAI.
Quote>What kind of sound change from stock?If you want a preview, just pop the top off the air cleaner temporarily, and go for a short blast (stay out of dust clouds, of course) and you will get a pretty good approximation! I thought my 1ZZ sounded pretty good, but I suppose it's not in the same league as hitting lift on a GT...
Very nice! I love the Injen intake in my GT. I really like to see the look people give me when I hit lift. I swear a couple of people have gotten whiplash! LOL!

Your's has different decals then mine! They look nice! By the way, did you paint your engine cover letters (VVTL-I) or is that a decal? It looks real nice. I was planning on getting mine decaled cause the painting thing is not working on mine.

It's not painted, just clean. I swear it is like a carinval ride, people are lining up to go for a ride. It really throws you back when you hit "lift".
