OBX doesnt make a "cold air" what you are refering to is a short ram intake....they dont do much but give you some sound. In order to get true perfoamce gains you need an intake that travels out of the engine bay to collect air or "Cold Air" OBX intake is fine if you arent into the perfomance aspect....but you will be drawing hot air from the motor back into the motor which actually hurts performance...

obx is usually crap but it's an intake not cams...
