Any CAI alone will only give you at the MAX 10hp. I can definitely feel an increase in throttle response though.

It'll look like the image below only in black (the reason why it's yellow is you can have them custom painted)

that looks like a smilies version of a CAI....but ya you will feel a lil bit better on the TR and if you don't have duals already it makes your engine louder...

Get a plastic CAI, the aluminum ones heat up faster and carry the heat through the medal..although they do look a lot nicer..

Lifetime warranty for both the air filter (so long as you turn in the registration) and lifetime warranty for the tubing.

haven't had a single problem yet and I've been running mine since february!

here's a better picture of what you get:

I was just posting up the pictures because although they have a great product, their website is a tad confusing

Also, go to Ebay or americanmuscle.com. They have the metal ones for around $50.00...... That's where I got mine.

American Muscle is trustworthy, but the metal does attract heat though, not to negate your opinion shiner but it's the truth.

eBay, you gotta be careful with, people sell parts that are defective in every way possible on there. Just make sure the person you're buying from guarantees it's not defective and you'll be fine.
