What is the cost of each? Would you really use a roof rack all the time, like you do your CAI?

The AFE intake sucks... I’d do the switch to get out of it. But the AFE I sold for $300 a few months ago, so I think a trade + cash would be appropriate.

Does the roof rack come with any accessories? If not he would be getting the better side of the trade (AFE Intakes vs OEM Roof Rack). Now if he's tossing in some goodies that could quickly become an even trade.

As for what intake, the Euro Air box (found HERE) is super popular.
