I called and ordered mine yesterday afternoon. They said the prototype testing was done and they would have final production units in the next few weeks ready to ship. I can't wait!

I pre ordered mine 2 weeks ago and can't wait. Getting that itch! But it will be worth it when it gets here.

So just because I've seen arguements both for and against but typical do you see better mpg or worse mpg with a CAI?

Of course I mean once the initial "breaking it in aka flooring it everywhere I go" period is over.

I would certainly think you would get better gas mileage with a cai due to the better volume of air being taken into the engine. As you say it won't be noticeable until after you start driving it "mildly".

Oh, sorry for not posting, the only difference is the AT Dipstick, put a socket on it and bend it towards the firewall 1-2"s and everything clears and fits just like the MT
