    Stock intake is a cold air intake and is better than any aftermarket bullshit anybody is selling. Don't do it.

    Still thinking about it.
    They look cool and make good sound. For some people that's "worth it".

    some CAIs are better than others, there are a couple that could be worth it, and have dyno tests to prove it, and there are some that arent.

    I don't think that the amount of money that you will have to spend will give you the measurable HP/TRQ increase to make it worth it.
    It's not like the old days when the air intake was very restrictive and only drew in air from under the hood.

    l looked into this myself. l never found a system that would give enough of a power improvement to actually feel it.
