It was the cost of the doing it right that pointed me in the direction of F/I.

Like Beedub stated above, the tune alone is very expensive. The price of the tune and the parts envolved was with-in a couple hundred dollars of The VT-1 kit from ESS, so I cut my losses and made the jump into the FI world.

Don't get me wrong, the sound, looks and performance of the the CSL airbox is awesome! I just chose to take another route
