GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Looks like it's going to be a while before I'm able to by and install my SC, so I'm going to get a CAI and change it out whenever I get the SC.My question is, with everyones experience here what CAI have you determined to be the best performing?TRDK&N TyphoonIngenCozmoAnd whic is better for power and performance the longe or short throw?Thanks for your advice,Alex

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.

I have Injen no problem and very happy!

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.

There are 3 of us who will be installing Injen CAI's this weekend (WOO HOO!!) We'll let you know how it turns out.

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

i've got the TRD cai. got a CEL on it after a few days, but only the GT's have that issue. added a unichip and no more CEL. lots of threads on cai vs sr. if you want best performance, go cai. if you want ease of getting to the filter, go w/ a sr.

We'll let you know how it turns out.It's not that bad really, if you search for the posts, (I'm too lazy, it's 2 A.M. and I have to be up in 4 hours) you will find great pictured instructions. Good luck!

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'!

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?

injen has one available for the 04 GT

Aint that the truth, but it does fit.

injen has one available for the 04 GTThey do? I know there is one for the Matrix XRS, it's on ptuning, but I haven't found one for the 04 GT.

I also own 04 GT and would like to know how to purchase an Injen CAI. I've done dirt bike modification but never car so I'm new at this. Thanks

well, we are currently trying to resolve the mystery check engine light for swirv. afaik, he's the only member right now w/ the 04 gt cai. he's got a CEL right now.
