Default Thinking of installing a CAI

2005 xB, just hit 45K. Thinking of maybe a few things and one includes a CAI.

Saw this one: http://www.injen.com/docs/other/sear...lID=154&Eng=L4

Then my next question, is this a real tough install?

If you can change a tire, you can install this intake.

Remember about CARB legality. My SRI was an easy install. CAI I would assume might be harder, but you should be able to do it yourself.

CAI is a definite improvement!!! I did mine and it could not have been easier. I have a 2005 BSP xB. I average 35mpg.
