Re: loosing power

Not unless you are sucking up water or it's completely clogged with road grime.

Re: loosing power

-With a full CAI you usually lose a little down low.
-Air filter may be sucky/dirty/unsufficient
-May have air leak somewhere (Clamps not tight...)
-Something else may be wrong

Re: loosing power

This thread is dumb. Why would somebody buy a CAI to get LESS power? You lose a small amount of torque because the air has to travel farther, but in comparison you gain a lot more in horsepower in the high rpms, where it matters when you need the power. Tell your "dum ppl" to go play in traffic and read up on how a car works.
