AFE vs Roush Cold Air Intake

[Red_Eye_Jedi]

I recommend the Cobb air intake. They know a thing or two about turbos

I’m under the impression if you install a Cobb CAI you must install a tune as well. If you don’t install a tune you will get a CEL. I seem to recall this is stated on Cobb’s website. Might be related to the separate dual tubes. For this reason I installed a Roush CAI as I don’t intend to install a tune.

Is my thinking flawed?

you do not need to install a tune. CAI is stand alone.

RRRaptorFun, how do you like your Rousch CAI? Your feedback would be great to hear

Gdog...not true.

It clearly states on Cobb’s website in red letters that their CAI requires the Cobb Accessport OTS or custom tune. I knew I saw that when I was considering a CAI

I agree with others that a CAI adds no performance gains when compared to stock. The Roush CAI falls into this category. I did notice my AWE 2FG exhaust note seems somewhat louder at cold start-up and under normal driving. I have not noticed any change in the sound of the turbos spooling.

I can state that my Roush CAI is easy on the eyes...LOL!!

I don't believe it's the case. Let's ask for some input from members who have Cobb CAI and don't have tunes. Anybody want to chime in on this?
