Is there a point to put CAI, Headers in if you're plannin on super charging or turbo?
I heard the turbo engine or the super charger come along with their own headers and intake. So buying a CAI, and headers if you are plannin for turbo is stupid. and also does turbo and super chargers work with autos, i mean do you still hear that PFFFT sound?

Yes turbos come with their own intake system, and header (downpipe) and yes they will work with autos and still make the "pfffft" sound, that's the blow off valve you hear of course.

With a SuperCharger you still need headers and intake. Not that you couldnt use you stock ones, but upgrading will help. The charger mounts where you intake manifold is currently at. you get no "PFFFF" sound, but u do get a "forced induction" sound. Kinda like what the AEM CAI does in idle, but a little louder and higher. Its pretty intimidating.

Buh Buh is right, don't base your decision about your $3000+ performance upgrade on a $200 upgrade that you already have.

Actually actual sounds go as follow:
Turbo is more of a PSSSHHHHHH-SHA.......u see all the extra s's and the "a" in the back? SuperCharger is WHOOWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! (Notice the draggin of the "a"s cause the noise is costant through acceleration. To me, i prefer the Super Charger noise cause it can be heard all the time while accelerating, while as the turbo only when the gas is let of or while the turbo is spooling. Tune in next time as whe explore the sounds of a cat-back exaust next to a universal muffler as well as screw driver holes in stock mufflers. Boredome sucks...............................
