Default cai worth it?

I have a 07nbs 5.3 with magnaflow cat back and a superchip( might sell that and get it tuned) just curious how you guys liked your cai's and if they do more than make sound, or if i will even notice a difference. thanks.

I installed a Corsa cat-back, and a Volant Power Core intake. It seems to help it out in the upper RPM's. After a tune for the mods, the power gain is really noticeable. I'd say its worth it. Sounds good too

The 99-06 kit will work on the NNBS. I have one on my 08. You have to cut about 3 inches off the intake tube because it's a little long. Also, some people have to drill a hole in the intake tube for the valve cover tube. I simply put a filter on my tube and it's working fine without being plugged into the intake tube. Others have had to drill it.
