Does cold air ind help any

[[__--MUD--__]]

I have 3 different ones I've tried, never got around to selling the other 2. The one thats in there now is just the last one I tried. Actually have a blower which would eliminate all that **** anyway, but thats still sitting in my garage.

Bottom line on everyone was, even w/ the hypertek programmer I absolutly hate how the engine runs untill its up to operating tempature. For the first 2-5 minutes depending on outside temp, all torque and responsiveness is lost. I've learnt to deal w/ it, throttling a second or two sooner than you normally would. They all definately made the motor louder. At operating tempature, I wouldn't say there's a noticable gain. Our gas mileage is so low anyway, your not going to really see much of an effeciency gain.

From the looks stand point...poping the hood and having a nice carbon fiber intake or one of the other polished brands looks a hell of alot better than the big seagull thats mounted to our throttle body.

I'd say its 80% appearance mod / 20% functionality. If your going through alot of deep water, that factory box is designed to keep water out alot better than these cold air intakes do.
