I'm looking to replace the C&L CAI that the previous owner put in the Mustang with one that has a chrome finish. So far, I've only been able to find one chrome finish, from BBK.



Can anyone point me to some more options for a chrome CAI? If not, how does BBK hold up in the increased performance department next to guys like JLT, Steeda, and K&M?

You can get a C&L street and polish it or have it chrome plated. Granatelli sells a polished one, though they have a bit of a tarnished reputation. Modular Depot also sells their CAI in a polished version.

If you don't have any luck finding a polished one, you could consider getting a JLT. They make inlet tubes that match the color of your car's finish. White on white would look pretty sweet IMO.

Replacing the CAI before you get a tuner? *tsk, tsk

No, just looking around...I'll probably get both at the same time.

Don't you have a drug test to administer somewhere?
