a cold air intake is just like the normal intake on your car already with a few differences, it filters the air and lets it into the engine.
a cold air intake (CAI) increases the amount of air that can get into the engine at any given time (giving more HP)
the difference between a high flow intake and a CAI is that the CAI is located somewhere outside of the engine compartment (usually the wheel well). under your hood, the air is very hot. cold air is moe dense, giving you more oxygen in any given volume of air. more oxygen = bigger explosions = more hp
