Im just curious, Im thinking about putting in an AEM CAI, and an exhaust system, and I‘ve read how they can improve torque and hp. thanks
I'd wondered the same thing, but the only benefit I could find on the Web was getting those cool blue valve stem caps! I do check my tires about once a month, and my Saturn can read the pressure through the ABS system and report it on the readout. I haven't had the car long enough to check its accuracy with a good gauge, though.
the reason why you get a CAI is to improve your engine hp, tq, and MPG, whoever is buying CAI and gettin worse gas milage that what they were gettin before, must not know how to put on a filter or buy some off brand.some companies do offer CAI on there vehicles as an option but it will cost you more. and car companies arent allowed just to add a CAI not sponsored by the acutally car company, if its not OEM its not goin on unless you have that performance upgrade/package, im sure you get the point
Fuel consumption is better with a cold air intake. Same with a performance exhaust. An engine that breathes easier requires less strain to move a vehicle. Just dont be hard on it, because at full throttle it will suck more fuel than before. Noise is one reason Air filter longetevity or maintainence Temperature of air and other weather conditions Wet driving, snow/icy conditions (snowmobiles dont have air filters at all, for a reason. Air filter gets wet from melted snow, water freezes, bad news)
Cold air intakes like cowl induction on Chevrolet and ram-air on Buicks and Pontiacs were optional equipment on many older muscle cars and some modern ones also.the issue is that from an engineering standpoint, cars that are sold in cold weather climates need heated intake air in winter to prevent carb icing and most car companies only want to design one intake sytem to cover the majority of weather systems throught the country to reduce costs. much like why do southern cars come with a heater. A cold air intake will definitely increase horsepower because colder air is denser than warm air and will support more fuel charge which is why some cars feel more powerful when driving on a cool day versus a hot summer day. Some racers even use a cool can for their fuel lines to increase horsepower.it's basically a coffee can size container with fuel lines wound around the inside of it and they put dry ice in it just prior to a race to boost the density of the fuel charge and thus add horsepower. Hope this answers your question, Paul
Yes. It reduce the oxidation in tyres and increase the life of your tyres.!!!! I believe in it!!!
