No, there is no better ones, SS Inductions one is fine. Google search the SS inductions CAI and then the Walkinshaw CAI and you will see they are the same one with a different sticker. eBay is cheaper for them I found, I had one on my SSV before I put on the OTR.

Go an OTR such as VCM or Duspeed.

SS reductions are overpriced rubbish. Rather the MCAI with 2 hole mod or even better an OTR.

Why exactly are they rubbish and why are they overpriced, $400 is about the going price for all CAI with the filter cleaning/ oiling kit....if anything the OTR's are over rated, they don't so much more (if anything) than the standard SS Inductions Growler.

check out dyno runs with OTR against pod filter and make a decision for yourself (this was before having a tune), but alot better gains from an otr on mine, so if you go otr checkout VCM, Duspeed, Ramjet,

I can't find any dyno runs comparing them, if you direct cool air from under your car to the Growler using the scoop it should be similar performance, contrary to popular belief the OTR doesn't allow in more air flow because both have filters restricting air flow....I've had both on my car and really couldn't tell the difference however OTR's are more likely to get bugs stuck in the filter.i likes the growler because it looked stock where an OTR sticks out like dogs balls, even with VcM infill panels

OTR comes into its own on the road with air being rushed/rammed in, a dyno cant simulate this
