    Call Gadget at URD. He is a vendor here. He can get you a good price on an AFE.

    A CAI is a waste of money IMO. Try searching around the forum, many threads cover this.

    You will not see much gain, if any. The factory intake is already cold air, so your best bet would be just getting a re-usable drop in filter.

    CAIs are quite expensive and your money could be spent better elsewhere.

    Removing the "secondary filter" does nothing.
