Personally, I use an AEM CAI, and it works great. K&N and Injen also make top-quality products.Edit: Oh, and a short ram won't give you as much performance as a full CAI will.

Cosmo does the exact same job for a lot less cash. Full CAI is the way to go. Cosmo is $109.00 plus shipping on Ebay.

I went with the Injen CAI and am very happy with it. No problems at all with CEL.

Re: Best CAI? (Mr. Poopypants)
it's all pretty close to common sense. i know squat about cars, but the cai install just made sense. the hardest part is wrestling the damn tube into position. it seems as though it won't fit, but it does, just keep tryin'!

Re: Best CAI? (SWiRv)
Hey SWiRv, I noticed you have an 04 GT....are you putting a CAI on your Vibe as well? Which brand? Does this mean that a CAI is available for the 04 GT?
