well, if you haven an intercooler(unless you're referring to the intercooler style intakes that go where the intercooler would, which I doubt you are...) then you're probly turbo'd which means you dont need an intake because the air is compressed and coming from the turbo. And you actually dont need an intercooler it just cools down the air and I've heard of it cooling the charge as much as 273 degrees. So I really dont know how to answer your question, maybe you'd like to change it.

Re: AEM intakes vs.. Intercooler...
How does the normal cold air intake work? Does it work the same as AEM or Injen air intake?

Re: AEM intakes vs.. Intercooler...
Look dog, the AEM and Injen ARE normal cold airs. Are you talking about intercooling a car that has no turbo? I've read some of your posts before, and they don't read too clearly. Please clarify some of this. I don't think you could intercool an N/A car. Just buy an AEM w/ bypass valve. Or, if you live in SoCal or somewhere like that, buy the new V2. If it IS turbo, then I'm lost. Good luck-----

Dude an intercooler is for turbocharged cars which you don't have. Just go buy an AEM cold air intake.

On an all-motor car there will hardly be a difference, maybe like 4-5 horsepower. Think that's worth $400? I mean I guess you could run a pipe down to an intercooler and pop a K&N on the other side of it... but if I ever saw that at a get together I'd kick that fag in the nutsack because it's so gay. |

no u wouldn't but i guess to answer his question....wouldn't make a difference on the gains and it'd be better to have the CAI b/c itz cheaper in the long run and u wouldn't be considered a poser
