    Hey all!

    Hope everyones week is going well.

    Just about to put a snorkel on my girl, and looking for some advice from anyone who has it about this.

    I have heard with a snorkel and CAI I will get a few more horses, a bit more of a throaty sound, and better airflow to my engine. Sounds like fun!!

    Has anyone done this, or does anyone have anything to say about not doing it. Not worth the money..not worth the time.. or any particularly compatible setups that you'd recommend.

    Any advice or experience at all.

    Thank you all!

    Stick with the stock airbox. It’ll take a good amount of fab work to figure out a way to make the snorkel work with a CAI.

    I’m running a TRD CAI with my Dobinsons snorkel. It wasn’t much work at all for me, but it seems k&n is the open style CAI vs the TRD box style

    I am very confused by this snorkel + CAI o_O

    A snorkel is a true CAI as you are pulling air from outside the engine compartment.

    How can you CAI a CAI?


    :cookiemonster:

    Is the CAI just a different air filter? Lets more air flow compared to stock?:anonymous:
