[QUOTE="kpg81, post: 1203671, member: 24967"] “CAI” or Cold Air Intake is the dumbest name for this mod. Why? Because none of the aftermarket “CAI’s” actually do the following: 1) Make the air Cold 2) Make the air cooler or colder than stock 3) Almost always bring in hotter air then the stock airbox In this case, not one single aftermarket “CAI” offered for our trucks introduce any cooler temperature change in IAT’s then the stock airbox. You want cooler air? Upgrade your intercooler. This mod likely does nothing for power and only a little difference in sound. Any performance gain would be in the upper RPM band at the expense of low end torque. Save your money and just buy a drop in dry air filter, and remove the intake silencers. You get a little more sound and airflow, but the same temps (or better), and you won’t need to worry about some a-hole dealer making a stink about it. [/QUOTE]
