Replacing my k&n short ram with these cai.

Picked these over g3 because of price and not having to cut.

Is 10whp gain reasonable after the switch. Plan on a retune as well to find out new gains

I wasnt a big fan of the dry filter and the design but after really reading diys and review, it doesnt seem to be a bad choice, i look at it as cant go wrong either way, preference.

I just got one a few days ago and I love it. What really sold me was the single filter that connects to both tubes. I love the design

You'll love it. And like mentioned before, the best part is no cutting

I ended up cutting mine too much restriction on the silicon.

I also ended up going with Takada dual filters. I didn't like the single filter after a couple hundred miles. Also talked with a tuner and he stated the same thing I was thinking you actually get better gaines with dual filters.

I original bought it for the same reasons listed. However after testing both non cut single filter vs cut dual filter I'm happier and so is my baby.

Not that it was bad originally just a little better now.

Is there enough room up there for 2 separate filters with the Takeda intake, or is modification needed?

I had to take the three bolts out and bolt it down on the filters and a lot of pressure putting bumper back on lol but they fit. I'm not looking forward to cleaning them I'll put it that way..
