Everyone ask do cold air intake kits actually work do they really help your truck my opinion is yes after installing my K&N air intake i really did notice some changes

just wondering what other people think of there cold air intake kits and are they really worth the money

 

some vehicles they really do help others they dont. i installed a K&N cai onto my 93 f150 5.0 and i didnt notice a single difference in performance. but it made the exhaust sound better and i got heavier footed and fuel mileage stayed about the same so maybe its doing something, i dont know. but it gets dirty pretty quick IMO. i've had to clean mine twice already since i installed it back in august last year, and it only has about 9000 miles on it.

 

like you said is good for some truck and bad for others but it might also be the year or the size engine its hard to say

 

CAIs make the biggest differance on the modular eng. especially when used with a custom programmer like an XCAL.

 

cai made a world difference in my truck. i had it installed with the stock exhaust still on there and it made the truck sound deep. then adding the bullet made it sound like a mustang pissed off

 

dynoed at about 13 hp on a 5.4 3v with custom tunes. Just removing the restrictive stock snorkle dynoed at 10 hp.

 

good job JIMBOE

 

When I did the Gotts Mod, I didn't notice anything whatsoever. Maybe I need to get a decent filter, still using a Fram paper filter.
