It depends on what you're expecting...

Is a CAI the best mod for 200 dollars for performance? No...

Will it get you 15 rwhp? No...

In my experience, CAI kits on the dyno have netted around 3-5 rwhp... (To give you an idea, a car can vary between + or - 5 rwhp between runs with no changes) so the gain is negligable....

You might feel it breathe a bit better at high revs or on a cold day, but that's about it as far as the butt-o-meter is concerned...
