$100.00 for "Universal" CAI????? Put your money into a decent CAI off of E-bay w/ K&N Filter.....You will spend less!!!!

+1 on the req for finding an eBay one with a K&N filter. I got mine for $60 shipped. All I needed was a gromit for the air temp sensor. Its a great deal when you consider those filters cost $40 alone.

CAI, not short ram - you can get the same effect of a short ram by removing the top of intake box and resonator on your stock intake system.
