    Most CAI are just for sound and ease to reach filter for cleanings. Thats it unless you have heavy mods and are tuned for it.

    sounds is actually all they really do... OEM intakes are universally baffled to make them quite, CAI eliminates that and makes sweet noises but thats about it.

    if you can hear a lil air increase then you have not exaust reroute with a mean upgrade. so input before output. so the turner takeover of 3rd gens rumor is real

    You don't have any experience with CAIs do you??

    E36 BMW guys love to debaffle their intakes, its not even a CAI just literally removing a little piece of plastic and it completely changes the sound.

    If you can't hear the difference here you're deaf:

    You don’t have any experience with tacoma exhausts do you?

    you wont hear a lil air sucking out of your tiny 3rd gen motor, truuuuuust me. but go ahead and waste your money until you actually use your truck and need a snorkel and have to pawn it off for pennies.

    "little air sucking" thats not what you hear from a CAI just like "a little more exhaust flowing" isn't what makes my magnaflow sound different. But I don't think you can be THAT stupid you're just pretending to be becuase you're stubborn and don't want to admit you're wrong :)

    This sounds stock to you?

    sounds like a waste of money to me, sound the same to you?

    and I do have CAIs on three of my cars, but not on either of my offroad vehicles.

    but please continue spending money how you see fit, thats what its for.

    LOLOLOL you just admitted to wasting $ on a CAI THREE times over :rofl:

    I don't have a CAI precisely because they're a waste of $, they don't do shit except sound cool.

    But by all means continue to waste your $ on them ;)

    Also you just admitted to being deaf, thats the only explanation for thinking that video sounds stock.

    oh CAI’s have a use case. making your truck sound cooler is not one of them. especially when you reroute your cool air intake location to a hot location.

    you all are a bunch lf geniuses.

    you ever look into what CAI stands for and why its used? its ummmm not for sound.

    Our factory intakes are already "cold air" as they draw from the fender smartguy. But I like how you refuse to look at the video because it proves you're an idiot.... go ahead, watch that video and try to tell me that truck sounds the same as stock lol
