CAI or cold air intake???

[hypedz34]

ok thanks that helps me decide what exactly to go with intake wise.how would you install an FWI?

Most ebay CAI are just a filter on a short pipe in the hot engine bay. That's more like a hot air intake and will actually hurt overall power compared to most stock air boxes since you'll suck so much hot air in.

A real CAI/FWI locates the filter outside of the engine bay where it gets cold air, and also has a cone which has more surface area than an air air box with a small snorkel. Maybe 4hp at the wheels on average depending on engine.

CAI=Cold Air Intake...

are you talking about a FWI: Fender Well Intake?

so called CAIs from ebay are junk, most of the time they are WAI: Warm Air Intakes, meaning it usually worse or similar to the stock option.
