Just re-installed my CAI on the account of the boot that connects the maf to the pipe ripped. I went to get a new boot and and re-installed the mac CAI. I then went out to drive it and I felt a big difference...what do you think my gains were?

Just put the Trueflow pipe on my wife's 01, replacing the OEM tube...did this just for looks. Absolutely no noticable gain, but we aren't disappointed, because we knew that they don't do much. The biggest difference is in the sound, but even that is very minimal.

with my old BBK cold air intake, i noticed, more power while the engine was bone cold. after about 5 minutes though, it felt like the power went away, due to the engine heating up, and heating up the inlet tube. maybe it was just my imagination. oh well.

good for you, some SOTP meters are better than others. Especially those with slow cars like mine.
