Ultimate Racing has the only true CAI...

Izzman7995 · 01-26-2009, 10:09 AM

Really? i saw that one, isn't it a part of their stage 1, 2, 3 intake systems?

Izzman7995 · 01-26-2009, 10:12 AM

Ultimate Racing filter is at the fender grills towards the front of the car, the filter is totally away from the engine bay..

k cool, hopefully it's better than duel cones for the price

cn555ic · 01-26-2009, 10:49 AM

so far I like the Utimate racing CAI and the only other intake is the INJEN one but thats also pricey also...Injen intake filters are in the engine bay compared to ULTimate CAI.

Stett performance makes a great CAI! Here's a pic

Azrielsc · 01-26-2009, 02:07 PM

i have the UR cai also... love it.
i like the LOOK of the stett though - however, i do not see how the stett feeds both turbos.

on my UR cai (and in the pics in this thread), you can see the 2 different (and LARGE) dedicated intake pipes (one for each turbo).

my 2 cents

Injen isn't a CAI. It's a filter (could also consider it a Short Ram intake I think).

Azrielsc · 01-28-2009, 01:35 AM

Here's the pieces for the STETT Intake:

U can see on the top right, the Y joint is where it feeds the turbos.

And here is it completed (Just like in the photos posted above):

And there is a nice hissing sound as u throttle! Its addictive!

Cheers,
Sam

PS: Got them from Chad of Stett Performance! Our batch of 6 intakes were the 1st batch (June 2008) to have them powdercoated black instead of the normal silver/grey ones.

How much is the Stett CAI? And to you guys that have them, have you noticed a change in throttle response? Does it work well?

Retail is US$670 a piece (in June 08). The high-end improved and there is an audible hissing sound when its drawing air into the intake! Addictive!

Oh it works great! I raced a stock 335 when all I had was that CAI and my throttle response was much faster and I beat him by a couple of cars (both were A/T and both were E90's)
