I like the tri-flo. IMO it sounds alot better when your romping on it. If you like like ear bleeding loudness.

Balance, I noticed you still have your slots under the arm rest in the stock position. I realized they come out and changed mine around a few months ago and LOVE it. They just pop out and you can move them around.

My order from closest to the front to farthest back is: spring coin thing, cup holder, ash tray, other cup holder.

That way there's a cup holder out front that you can use without having to lift up the arm rest, and you can still get to your coins if you need them for a toll.

I found the cup holder in front of the armrest to be helpful... just me though. I'm not sure if you knew they could be rearranged... I didn't for a while. If you don't though, try out the idea.

Talking

the dinan is one of the more spendy CAI's....during my cai experience/buying i decided i wanted it to sound sweet, and my conforti is awesome. sounds great, looks great, i love the ITG filter...komodo and a few others have the dinan. ask them. an intake is an intake, it gets rid of teh restrictive air box, THAT IS IT!! . dont expect alot of hp gains from any intake. the dinan is $350-400 i believe. so......



all in all i have decided... lol i dont care, my question was answered a while ago!!! cya guys

dinan CAI is way too much money for the gains you get. i think the Cosmos CAI is the dinan style and cost much less. look into that.

But I personally like Dinan's sound better than any other one. It's a deep growl, not a raspy whine like some.

There are a lot that are the same style... dropping it into the bumper. What I believe is unique about dinan is it's a strange material. A power coated metalic-like resonating tube. That is what gives it the nice sound.

Anyone know what it's made of?
