I always suspect actual results of a mod that is known to give small or subtle gains at best when I see others say things like ........
"I
felt a difference when I did that mod!"
A CAI would certainly fall in that camp.
however
I really did
feel a difference
with my home made CAI
The difference is noticed when the temps are lower
After the temps climb, the bulk of the gain is gone
Mine is home made with the filter/maf behind the headlight.
Here are a couple things I think helped my efforts
1. it doesn't draw hot air from the engine compartment
2. filter to elbow ... straight shot ... only ONE 45 degree bend
Not only did I
feel a difference ..........
Dlogs show airflow gains from nothing but pipe change
Bends and filter location DO make a difference
I picked up airflow by deleting one 90 degree bend
My final thoughts about CAI's would be ...........
they
can be effective
but
not
all of em are
