CAI!?!?
I have just went through the order proccess for the speed state AOS CAI for the Tib.
It comes out at 439.00 CAD
Canada Dollars = 210.595 GBP
United Kingdom Pounds
I mean £210 for a CAI kit, Does anyone else think this is way off the mark.
They charge an extra 140 CAD canadian dollars for delivery!?
Let me know what you guys think!?

It probably costs alot to deliver from Canada to Scotland. Don't rightly know how much but I am sure alot!
Did you also order the bypass valve?
Why do you want the AOS CAI?
The only reason I can see to get it is for the color, but that is cool too. That is why I am thinking about getting it.

$439 CAD = $289 American.
That does not seem so bad if it includes shipping from Canada to Scotland.
You are paying around $92 American for shipping.
Sorry I had to put it perspective for myself and any other Americans that read the post.

If it truely comes out to $315 US dollars for the kit that is crazy. What no one here seems to consider is that the filter is still in the engine bay just lower. The KORE, my custom CAI and MHP intakes put the filter into the fender well where it gets truely cold air and is more protected from water. All of these are cheaper than what you paid.

Oops! sorry, I did not mean to insinuate that it would not add performance. I just believe the KORE CAI would be better for performance. I do think the AOS kit in red would look really good in my red Tiby.

I was going of the $439 Canadian figure you gave and the currency converty came up with $289 American. If this is the case and it is equivlent to $289 and that includes bypass valve and shipping it is not a bad price.

I agree with Tunez 150%, wheel well has much colder air then engine bay and if you don't have the AEM by-pass on it you run a high risk of hydro-lock. The MHP set up is like $219.00 (american dollars) and only $50.00 more for the AEM by-pass (which you really don't need in the wheel well), don't know about shipping but still sounds like a better deal to me.

Thats alot of money for a CAI. Why dont you make a "Fast.Shark/Tunez" custom CAI? Costs alot less...mine costed like under $50.00 and mine is in the fender...where it belongs......just a few thoughts.
