Hello all,

I have a 1996 GT-S Convertible. I am looking at getting a cold air air induction system (with a K&N filter) on E-Bay. I am wondering - has anyone added CAI to their 2.2 and if so, what kind of return did you get? The web says is will add 10-18 HP...

Weird - your is really different from the way they set mine up...my pipe is a static width all the way to the cone filter and mine comes in between the cruise control and the upper radiator hose and the cone filter winds up under the battery...

I'd love to post a pic but I can't figure out how. I have it in my profile but can't seem to do it here...any help would be appreciated. I do have it in my profile.

Upload it to photobucket or similar and copy and paste the [img] code it gives you in your post

imo on these cars having a cai DOESN"T net you any more power then a sri. just more risk of picking up water

QFT tho most people will argue that with you - the slight gain isn't worth the risk. A good SRI is perfect [You don't see us Turbo guys running CAI very often now do you? and we spend $$$ on FMIC to cool the intake temps]
