If I buy a cold air intake, do I have to change my mass air meter or could I keep my stock one? Thanks ![[Cool]](cool.gif)

You should be able to keep you stock one unless you buy some crazy CAI.

The BBK CAI is complete crap. Honestly the stock setup with a K&N filter works exceptionally well to around 325rwhp.
A "crazy" setup would be something like an AFM powerpipe which uses a 3.5" or 4" pipe and you'd need to use a "crazy" adapter to fit your stock MAF to the piping.

the Mac cai works just fine, and is cheaper than the bbk.

JeffS is right. The stock intake design IS a cold air intake.

Correct. I would spend the money on something else.
