For the sound and looks only, it's not a waste. But to expect things like that to give you more horse power and make it faster it is a waste.

Colder the air going into the engine the better the performance. Personally I tried out a few and totally dug the AEM cai but everyone has their own preference. Also Im sure cody will be around to whore out his crews intakes.

Re: Recommend Screw on Mods

Cold air intakes are usually placed in the fender well area, which brings in a cooler charged air from beneath the car (outside of the engine bay), which is denser and therefore creates more power. The piping is a lot longer than a short ram which means the power gains are not seen until the mid to higher RPM band. A short ram intake is located inside the engine bay and creates power with better response times than a cold air, however the air is not as dense, which means that it doesn’t make as much power in the upper RPM region and makes less power overall.

We make em in stainless steel over that of the competitors aluminum ones. Were also cheaper. Who you choose is up to you.

Re: Recommend Screw on Mods
