£700 down but happy

[DannyW]

have you listened to the video on streetfire.net?

Dc mani de cat and system will sound the nuts, I would expect it to be very loud.

Insurance will only go up a few £ I imagine, £15 - £30

I did a insurance quote, with all the mods added that i want to do, a few weeks back and it wasn't much more expensive at all.

No i've not heard the streetfire vid, i don't supose you've got a link have you?

You only need to hit a puddle at speed to soak your filter...

So its not a good choice???

How do the other guys with CAI manage when it rains....do they take them off and replace them back to oem - Im not being funny with you, just want to know the best thing to do.

Its best if I use oem in winter and CAI in summer.....weather permitting is it??

ITG/Gruppe M all year round IMO.

Changing it will be a real chore and most people won't bother.

All I'm saying is you're playing a bit of a lottery with this system. Chances are you will be fine, but it's a very expensive problem to fix if it goes Pete Tong. I would rather play it safe buy spending a bit more on a CAI kit where the filter sits in the engine bay (i.e. Gruppe M/J's/ITG).

You will probably break even when it comes to resale time anyway (if you buy second hand)

[Buckley 88]

Most people buy an AEM instead of a Gruppe M because they can't afford the Gruppe M. If you can't afford a Gruppe M, then you certainly can't afford a new engine.

fair point there, ** try and cancel the order for the CAI, Im worried now!!!!

[Buckley 88]

oh ball bags , just seen dottys threads and yes, aem cai for sale!!!! order has gone through with firm but hopefully im going to ask them if i can change th AEM for a ITG or something of that nature as you say, thinks its my best option atm but is it possible to do that now, will i be breaching some sort of rules......... order was placed at 7pm tonight on the dot.

can any one shed any light???

[dotty]

Who did you order it with?

[NickCTR]

Then it won't be posted until tomorrow so phone them at the first oppurtunity. If you do receive the goods they are bound by law to refund you upon receipt of returned unopened items, within 7-14 days I think.
