Is this cold air intake too good to be true?
I bought an intake like that, i think it was only 45$ with shipping, and it was a good product. Nothing fancy, but it's nothing more than a metal tube and a filter. Mine installed and worked fine, and i even noticed a little power gain. It also made the engine sound 10X cooler.
Ok Ill tell yea the facts. Its not stolen. Its not cheap. Its a peice of crap. IT IS NOT A COLD AIR INTAKE! What you are looking at my friend is a SHORT RAM INTAKE. It will increase your pony power by like 3-4 more than your stock, but youll have to put up with a VERY NOISE engine (It dose sound cool though when you first start your car but drive your car around for 20 minutes and it gets old and anoying fast). Alot of people call them cold air intakes but a real cold air intake DOSE NOT COLLECT AIR FROM THE ENGINE BAY- (think about it the air in your engine bay is HOT) Cold air intakes out sorce to collect air from a air pocket or infront of your radiator, air thats comming from out side the car not already in. The reason its so cheap is cause all it is a pipe and a air filter. You can make them your self for under 20 bucks. And a warning if you chose to get one beware of water. Short ram intakes make it super easy to get water in your engine. If you want more pony power cheap go grab a performance chip. Also you can make a cold air intake yourself by finding a air pocket (i slightly losened my high beams and modified my intake to reach it) ((it was called the bfi intake for my car)).
