These are all over the board, so I didn't have a specific board to post em in.

First, I am planning on getting a CAI and I was just wondering if anybody had an Airaid Intake, or what you're opinion of them is.

Second, would I need to adjust my tune whenever I get the CAI to compensate for it?

Third, is it possible to completely convert a grey interior to black? All I'm worried about is the carpet and seats, as I can get the dash and all other plastic pieces painted for free.

Thanks in advanced guys and gals.

Well I don't have an Airaid, so can't help ya there. Are you talking about getting a Superchips? Or a custom tune? Either way, shouldn't need to do anything with the tune that I can think of.

As far as the interior, CUSTOM! I removed my grey carpet, and did black. My seats are black and red.

That's what I wanted to know, haha. If the carpet could be replaced. But yeah. I have a Diablosport Predator thanks to Nick, and wanted to know if I needed to change something on the tune when all I'll have is a CAI. Basically just looking for anything anybodys heard about it. Newbie to this stuff.

Very nice looking. Love the red and black look, which is actually what I was planning on going for.

Like a said, a newbie to all of this. Hadn't even heard of it, but I'll go check it out.

Was actually looking into that one, I'm open to all opinions, the Airaid is just the one the shop near me can get. Would this be easy to install, like something I could do myself?

Oh, and good to know, and yeah. Went and signed up on the website, never got a email to confirm. Not really sure why, maybe just delayed. Btw nick, the DSP is doing great. Thanks

Also, awesome. That'll save me some money.

Yeah, same name. The results actually surprised me. It has a huge difference in get up and go at speeds of 50+, and the acceleration at slower speeds is considerably higher. Should most any intake be a pretty easy install?

Cool. Thanks for that info both of you. Would've been $75 to get it installed at a shop.
