Yes you will gain a little horsepower out of it....maybe 5-10 horse or so someone correct me if im wrong. But to get the most out of it, it helps to have an exhaust also.

A CAI for a 95-02 z24 from RdFabs is $230, thats why I said, depending on the style or (make/model) intake.

Re: Need some info on Air Intakes

Mine contributed to me killing a tank of gas real quick, does that help out any?

Short rams make cool noises when you get on the throttle real hard. The CAI extention killed the noises but on really cold nights, its more of a kick.
