bought a CAI did i make the right choice?

Your truck comes with a CAI from the factory. I would ask the guy to bail and if you have to, bail and take negative feedback. IMO.

 

the only shitty part about the stocker, is teh bends and the accordian pipe..terrible for air flow..and that airbax...not a good one...but yes,, pullin from the quarter panel...does make it a CAI

 

Ive never had any problems with water or dirt getting into it, I have the mesh cover sitting on my work bench

 

I would go with the TRD CAI, URD CAI, or AFE Stage II si intake. All are high quality.

 

In my opinion you wasted some good hard earned money.................

 

how often do u have to oil the filter and where should I get the oil for it?

 

Filter needs to be cleaned and re-oiled every 25K miles. You can get a maintenance kit at Pep Boys for about $10.

 

I've heard good stuff about the true flow xdi, I remember seeing a dyno sheet showing better low/mid range gains then the TRD, Volant, afe intakes. I have an afe stage 2, since i got a good deal on it, $200 shipped.
